EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Parker, Colorado

The Town of Parker does not publish a dedicated EV charger/EVSE permit; a dedicated EV charging circuit is permitted as standalone electrical work through the Town's standard Electrical Permit, billed under the same formula-based fee structure (Table 3.2) used for all standalone residential electrical permits — no EV-specific line item exists. Parker's population is well above the 10,000-resident municipal threshold that makes it a 'covered municipality' under Colorado HB24-1173, the statewide EV Charging System Permits law requiring covered jurisdictions to notify applicants of an approval/denial decision within 3 business days by a December 31, 2025 compliance deadline; no published record was found confirming which HB24-1173 compliance path (Colorado Energy Office model code, the Town's own standards, or an opt-out resolution keeping the existing process) the Town adopted.

Tips

  • Parker has no dedicated EV charger permit — apply for a standalone Electrical Permit through eTRAKiT, billed under the Table 3.2 formula fee (not the general valuation-based Building Permit schedule).
  • Colorado HB24-1173 legally requires Parker, as a covered municipality (population over 10,000), to decide on an EV charging permit application within 3 business days of making its determination, but no Town-published record confirms its specific implementation of the law.
