EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Haxtun, Colorado

Haxtun has no dedicated EV charger or EVSE permit and no distinct fee line item for electric vehicle charging equipment. An EV charger installation is billed under the Town's general valuation-based Application for Building Permit (the same combined form and fee table used for all building-related work, including the rooftop solar PV permit's structural scope), and the electrical/circuit work must be inspected by a State of Colorado electrical inspector rather than the Town, exactly as with any other new electrical installation. Colorado's HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits, 2024) requires expedited EV-charger permitting only for counties with 20,000+ population and municipalities with 10,000+ population -- Haxtun (population under 1,000) falls well below that threshold and is not a covered municipality under the statute.

Tips

  • Haxtun has no EV-specific permit or fee -- an EV charger install is billed under the Town's general valuation-based Building Permit fee table, the same one used for any other small electrical/construction project.
  • As with solar and all other electrical work in Haxtun, expect the electrical/circuit portion of the install to be inspected by the State of Colorado, separate from the Town's own building-permit sign-off.
  • Colorado's HB24-1173 requires expedited, standardized EV-charger permitting only in counties of 20,000+ and municipalities of 10,000+ population -- Haxtun does not meet that threshold, so this statutory mandate does not apply here.
