EV Charger / Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit in Gypsum, Colorado

Installing an EV charger circuit in Gypsum requires a separate Electrical Permit from the Town's Building Department, governed by the 2023 NEC as locally adopted -- the same standalone Electrical Permit process (distinct from the general Building Permit) described in the electrical-permit entry. The Town does not publish a dedicated EV-charger/EVSE fee line, application, or checklist. The trade-specific electrical fee table does not appear on the Town's website or in its 2025 Annual Fee Schedule PDF (explicitly labeled partial and containing no permit valuation tables); it is codified in Title 15 of the Municipal Code (hosted on Municode).

When you need this permit

  • Governed by the 2023 NEC as adopted by the Town, per the Building Codes & Guidelines page, including NEC Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System)
  • Unlike solar, which is subject to Colorado's statewide $500 local-government fee cap for residential installations (C.R.S. 24-48.5-113), no equivalent statutory fee cap was found for EV charger permits

Tips

  • Gypsum uses a standalone Electrical Permit Application (separate from the Building Permit Application) for electrical work like an EV charger circuit -- don't submit an EV charger job through the general Building Permit portal unless new structural work is also involved.
  • The Town's 2025 Annual Fee Schedule PDF is explicitly labeled partial; the governing fee table lives in Title 15 of the Municipal Code, hosted on Municode. Call the Building Department directly for a current quote.
  • Unlike solar, which benefits from Colorado's statewide $500 local-fee cap (C.R.S. 24-48.5-113), no equivalent statutory fee cap applies to EV charger permits in Gypsum.

Gypsum's permit history isn't searchable here yet

This page covers what the permit requires. What we don't have for Gypsum yet is the record of permits actually issued — the history you'd search by street address. That is a gap in our coverage, not a statement about any particular property.
