EV Charger / EVSE Permit (Electrical Permit) in Delta, Colorado

Delta requires an ev charger / evse permit (electrical permit) for: Technical Permit Application with 'Electrical' checked as type of work — the same shared form used for mechanical, fireplace/stove, temporary power, and photovoltaic work; If installing at a new structure, the associated Building Permit must be issued before the Technical (electrical) Permit can be issued; Work must be performed by a licensed Colorado electrical contractor, or by the homeowner personally on their own sole/owner-occupied residence under the Homeowner Clause; If the electrical permit is not filed in advance of work commencing, the inspection fee is doubled pursuant to C.R.S. § 12-115-121(3), per the City's own fee-schedule language already documented on this file's electrical-permit entry; Colorado HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits, 2024) requires municipalities of 10,000+ population (per 2020 Census) to adopt streamlined EV-charging land-use permitting by December 31, 2025; Delta's 2020 Census population (~9,000) is below that statutory threshold, and no City of Delta ordinance, land-use code amendment, or adoption of the state's EV Charging Model Land Use Code was found published on the City's site in this session — so the City's generic electrical-permit process (not a HB24-1173-specific streamlined process) is what currently governs an EV charger installation there. If your project isn't listed, confirm with City of Delta Building Department (Community Development) at 970-874-7909 before starting work.

Delta, Colorado has adopted: 2018 International Building Code (IBC) — per the City of Delta Building Department page (https://www.cityofdelta.net/cd/page/building); 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC); 2018 International Residential Code (IRC); 2018 International Fire Code (IFC); 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — adopted per the City's own Building page, but plumbing permitting/inspection itself is performed by the State of Colorado, not the City (see localAmendments); 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — electrical permitting IS performed by the City of Delta (unlike several peer home-rule cities in this corpus, e.g. Montrose, where the State Electrical Board handles it); NOTE — code-edition discrepancy found and not silently reconciled: the City's own 2026 Schedule of Fees and Charges (Table 3A, Building Permit Fees valuation table) is explicitly headed 'Group (2024 International Building Code)', a newer edition than the 2018 IBC named on the Building Department page itself. Both are official City-published documents retrieved directly this session; the discrepancy is surfaced here rather than guessed at — confirm the currently-enforced IBC edition directly with the Building Department (970-874-7909) before relying on either figure for design compliance.. Local amendments apply — see the Delta overview page for the full list.
