EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Town of Carbondale, Colorado
Carbondale does not publish a standalone EV-charger/EVSE permit type. Installing electric vehicle charging equipment (e.g., a new 240V Level 2 circuit) is electrical work, and per the Town's own permit-type list and the separate 'electrical-permit' entry, ALL electrical permits and inspections in Carbondale are issued and inspected by the Colorado State Electrical Board (Division of Professions and Occupations / DORA) — the Town has no local Electrical Inspection Program. Colorado's HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits Act, effective August 7, 2024) sets a December 31, 2025 compliance deadline for standardized EV-charging permitting only for municipalities with population 10,000+ and counties with population 20,000+; Carbondale's 2024 Census population estimate is approximately 6,700-6,800, below that municipal threshold, so the Town is not required to adopt a distinct EV-charging permitting process under this law. No Town ordinance, Building Department page, or Appendix A Fee Schedule line item referencing EV chargers, EVSE, or HB24-1173 was found as of the last verification.

When you need this permit
- EV charger circuit installation (Level 2 or higher, or any new/altered branch circuit) is electrical work; apply directly through the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA) DPO Online Permitting System, not the Town of Carbondale, per the Town's general electrical-permit routing
- Simple Level 1 (120V, existing receptacle) charger use typically does not require a separate electrical permit under standard NEC practice; a new dedicated circuit does
- No Carbondale-specific or DORA-published EV-charger line item, checklist, or fee was found as of the last verification; the general State electrical permit application/process applies
- Carbondale's 2024 population (~6,700-6,800) is below the 10,000-population threshold that triggers HB24-1173's mandatory local EV-charging permitting-process compliance deadline for municipalities

Contact DORA (303-894-7800) or use the DPO Online Permitting System for the current amount for a specific project.Review timeline

Tips
- Because Carbondale has no local Electrical Inspection Program, do not look to the Town Building Department for an EV-charger-specific permit or fee — apply directly through the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA), the same authority that handles any new branch circuit.
- Carbondale's population is below the 10,000-resident threshold that would require the Town to adopt Colorado's HB24-1173 standardized EV-charging permitting process, so don't expect a Town-specific EV-charger checklist or an expedited review commitment. Plan on the standard electrical permit process and ask the Building Department what documentation they want.
