Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Permit in Mountain Village, Colorado

Mountain Village has no distinct EV-charger permit type or fee line — directly confirmed against the Town's 2026 Fee Resolution Building Department Fees Table 1-A, which lists a dedicated 'Solar Permit' (item 8) and 'Geothermal exchange as an energy alternative' (item 9) but no EV-charger/EVSE line item. A new circuit, outlet, or panel/service upgrade to serve an EV charger is therefore permitted under the Town's standard, valuation-based Electrical Permit (2023 NEC/NFPA 70), administered through the same OpenGov portal used for Building, Plumbing, and Mechanical permits.

Tips

  • There is no Mountain Village-specific 'EV charger permit' — a new circuit or outlet for EV charging falls under the standard, valuation-based Electrical Permit, unlike Solar (which has its own flat $500/$1,000 fee) or Geothermal.
  • Mountain Village's population (~1,264 at the 2020 Census) is below the 10,000-resident threshold that triggers Colorado HB24-1173's municipal EV-charging-permit mandate, so the Town is not confirmed to be legally required to have adopted EV-specific permitting standards.
  • The Town received a Colorado Energy Office grant for a four-post public DC Fast Charging Station in the Gondola Parking Garage, targeted for summer 2027 — a public infrastructure project, distinct from private residential EV charger permitting.
