Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit (State-Administered) in Craig, Colorado

Installing an EV charger/EVSE in Craig or unincorporated Moffat County is electrical work, and both the City and County defer ALL electrical permits, plan reviews, and inspections to the State of Colorado -- the same state-administered pathway documented in this file's electrical-permit entry. No Craig/Moffat County EV-charger-specific permit application, fee line, or webpage was found -- checked the City's Permits & Inspections page, Adopted Codes page, Residential Solar Installation Checklist, and the Checklists for Obtaining Permits & Scheduling Inspections PDF directly; none name electric vehicle charging stations, EV chargers, or EVSE.

When you need this permit

  • Both the City of Craig and Moffat County defer ALL electrical permits, plan reviews, and inspections to the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), Division of Professions and Occupations, State Electrical Board -- the same mechanism documented for all other electrical work in this file
  • Applicants must apply directly to DORA, typically through the DPO Online Permitting System, rather than through the Craig/Moffat County Regional Building Department
  • If the charger installation is mounted to or requires a new structure (e.g., a new carport), a separate local Building Permit ($100 flat fee) from the Craig/Moffat County Regional Building Department would additionally apply for that structural portion
  • Rough and Final Electrical inspections are performed by a State inspector, not a local building inspector, consistent with the department's Standard Building Inspections checklist

Tips

  • Do not contact the Craig/Moffat County Regional Building Department for an EV charger permit -- like all electrical work, it is handled entirely by the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations, State Electrical Board (DORA).
  • If your EV charger installation also involves new construction (e.g., a carport), budget for a separate $100 flat local Building Permit for that structural portion, in addition to the state electrical permit.
