EV Charger / EVSE Permit in La Junta, Colorado

Electric vehicle charging equipment (EVSE) installation within La Junta city limits is an electrical installation, and electrical permits for work in the City are issued by the State of Colorado, NOT the City — the same routing documented on the general Electrical Permit entry. The City's own 'Who Needs a Building Permit' bulletin directs all electrical permit questions to the State of Colorado, and no Electrical Code chapter exists in Title 15 of the La Junta Municipal Code (the reserved slot, Chapter 15.16, contains no adopted code). No City fee schedule of any kind is published for building or electrical permits — every City permit application instead uses a self-reported 'Materials $ / Labor $ / Total Valuation $' field — so no City-side EV-charger fee line exists to omit or misstate.

When you need this permit

  • Contact the State of Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations (DPO), Electrical Board, at 303-894-7800 or dpo.colorado.gov/EandP/forms for permit application and inspection
  • The City of La Junta Engineering Department (719-384-5991) does not issue electrical wiring permits, per its own published bulletin
  • If the EVSE installation is paired with a City-permitted mounting/structural scope (e.g., a carport housing the charger), that scope would separately require a City Building Permit Application, but the electrical/EVSE circuit itself remains the State's jurisdiction
