EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Superior, Colorado

The Town of Superior has no distinct electric-vehicle-charging-station permit or fee line. An EV charger circuit is standalone electrical work billed under the Electrical Permit Fee table's 'Other electrical work' valuation-based tier (the same table documented in this file's Electrical Permit entry, used for service hookups and modular home connections), rather than the residential-square-footage tier used for whole-house wiring — this is a real, currently-published fee-schedule line item and is the governing charge for an EV charger circuit. Superior's 2020 Census population (13,094) exceeds the 10,000-resident municipal threshold in Colorado HB24-1173 (effective 8/7/2024), making the Town a 'covered municipal permitting agency' required to have adopted, by 12/31/2025, either the state's model EV-charger permit code, its own objective EV-charger standards, or an affirmation of its existing review process; a fresh 2026-07-20 re-check of the Town's Municipal Code and Board of Trustees ordinance/resolution list found no public confirmation of which path the Town selected.

Tips

  • An EV charger circuit in Superior is billed on the dollar valuation of the electrical work itself (the 'Other electrical work' table), not the square-footage-based residential wiring table — a different calculation basis than a whole-house electrical permit.
  • Superior is large enough to be covered by Colorado's HB24-1173 EV-charger-permitting law, but this review (re-chased 2026-07-20) could not confirm which of the three statutory compliance options the Town chose by the 12/31/2025 deadline — call ahead (303-381-2028) to ask whether a streamlined EV-charger review track now exists.
