EV Charger / EVSE Permit (State of Colorado Electrical Board) in Eagle, Colorado

Installation of an electric vehicle charging station in the Town of Eagle is electrical work and, exactly like this file's general electrical-permit entry, is permitted and inspected directly by the State of Colorado (Colorado DPO/State Electrical Board), NOT the Town of Eagle Building Division. Under Colorado Revised Statutes § 12-23-117, electrical inspection is a matter of statewide concern: the state sets a uniform fee schedule and no local government may impose any separate fee or charge related to electrical permits/inspections. The state's own electrical fee schedule (valuation-based/square-footage-based) has NO distinct 'EV charger,' 'electric vehicle,' or 'EVSE' line item; a dedicated Level 2 charger circuit is billed under the state's 'All other electrical fees' valuation-based tier — the same mechanism already documented on this file's electrical-permit entry.

Tips

  • Do not apply for an EV charger permit through the Town of Eagle — like all electrical work in Eagle, it is a State of Colorado DPO permit, not a Town permit.
  • There is no distinct 'EV charger permit' anywhere in Colorado's statewide electrical fee schedule — a dedicated charger circuit is billed on the state's valuation-based 'All other electrical fees' tier.
  • Under C.R.S. § 12-23-117, no local government may charge any separate additional electrical permit fee — the Town of Eagle's own Master Fee Schedule already confirms its Permit Issuance/Transfer fee explicitly excludes electrical permits.
