EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Sedgwick, Colorado

Required for installing an electric vehicle charging station (Level 2 or DC fast charger) within the Town of Sedgwick. As with solar (see solar-pv-permit entry), there is no dedicated 'EV Charger' checkbox on the Town's own Application for Building Permit — the closest matching category is 'New/Replace Electrical (State Permit Required),' confirming electrical work of any kind is NOT reviewed under a town-adopted code (Sedgwick Town Code Chapter 152, 'Building Code,' is explicitly Reserved) but is instead routed to the State of Colorado. Two fees therefore apply: the Town's flat $60.00 Building Permit fee, and a separate State Electrical Permit fee (issued through the Colorado Division of Professions and Occupations/State Electrical Board) — but unlike solar, an EV charger installation is NOT subject to Colorado's HB21-1284 solar-fee cap, so the state electrical fee is calculated under the ordinary statewide Table 1-E valuation-based schedule with no dollar cap.

When you need this permit

  • Submit the Town's Application for Building Permit, checking 'New/Replace Electrical (State Permit Required)' (no dedicated EV-charger checkbox exists on the form)
  • A separate State of Colorado Electrical Permit is required for the EV charger's dedicated circuit and any panel work, obtained from the State Electrical Board (Division of Professions and Occupations, DORA) since the Town has not adopted a local electrical inspection program
  • A site plan/drawing showing the location of the proposed installation must be attached to the Town application
  • Contractors must submit proof of insurance to the Town (sedgwickco@pctelcom.coop) before the Town permit will be issued; not required for owner-performed work under Colorado's homeowner exemption (property not for sale, resale, rent, or generally open to the public) Owner-builderContractor
  • Both the State Electrical Permit and the Town's Local Building Permit must be physically posted on the property before starting work
  • Colorado's HB24-1173 (EV Charging System Permits, C.R.S. § 31-23-316) requires counties with population over 20,000 and municipalities with population over 10,000 to adopt a streamlined EV-charger permitting process by December 31, 2025 — the Town of Sedgwick (population under 200) is far below this threshold and has no obligation under that law
  • Unlike solar, Colorado's HB21-1284 solar-fee cap (C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113, $500 residential/$1,000 commercial) does NOT apply to EV charger installations — an EV charger's State Electrical Permit fee is calculated under the ordinary statewide Table 1-E valuation-based electrical fee schedule with no equivalent dollar cap

Fee schedule

Town of Sedgwick Building Permit (Application + Permit fee)Same flat fee used for all project types on the Town's Application for Building Permit form; not valuation-based. Source: Town of Sedgwick Application for Building Permit.
$60.00 total flat fee ($30.00 Application + $30.00 Permit)
State of Colorado Electrical Permit — general/valuation-based (Table 1-E structure used statewide under C.R.S. § 12-23-117)NOT subject to the solar-specific $500/$1,000 cap under HB21-1284 (C.R.S. § 24-48.5-113) — that cap applies specifically to solar energy device installations, not EV chargers. No EV-charger-specific fee cap or dedicated fee line was found in Colorado statute or the Table 1-E schedule.
Base fee plus a per-$1,000-of-job-valuation rate (e.g., Larimer County's copy of the statewide Table 1-E schedule); the exact base/per-thousand rate is set by the issuing authority within a state-permitted band and was not independently retrieved from a DORA-hosted copy of the schedule this session

Inspection process

  1. 1

    Zoning Administrator Review (Town)

    Zoning-compliance and contractor-insurance check by the Town's Zoning Administrator; results in a written Approved or Denied determination

  2. 2

    State Electrical Inspection

    Rough-in and final inspection of the EV charger's electrical installation performed under the State Electrical Permit

Tips

  • Sedgwick's own Building Permit application form has no 'EV Charger' checkbox — use 'New/Replace Electrical (State Permit Required)' and expect the actual electrical inspection to be handled entirely by the State of Colorado, not the Town.
  • Unlike solar, there is no statewide dollar cap on the State Electrical Permit fee for an EV charger installation — budget for the ordinary valuation-based Table 1-E electrical fee, not the $500/$1,000 solar cap.
  • The Town's own $60 flat fee is separate from and in addition to the State Electrical Permit fee — budget for both.
  • The Town of Sedgwick's population is far below HB24-1173's 10,000-person municipal threshold, so no streamlined/model-code EV-charger permitting process or guaranteed decision window applies here.

Sedgwick, Colorado has adopted: NONE — the Town of Sedgwick has NOT adopted the IBC, IRC, or any other model building code edition by ordinance. Chapter 152 of the Sedgwick Town Code, titled 'BUILDING CODE,' is explicitly marked '[Reserved]' in the currently codified Code of Ordinances (2023 S-1 supplement, current through Ordinance 01-2023 passed 3-13-2023) — confirmed by direct extraction of the Code Book PDF (American Legal Publishing, hosted at sedgwickcolorado.com/_files/ugd/4d4221_87d4af0c271c403eace6f27595d559ee.pdf).; Chapter 151 (Building Regulations) is NOT a model code adoption — it is an unmodernized 1919-era fire-limits ordinance (Ord. 19, passed 6-2-1919) still on the books, governing construction materials (masonry/incombustible-material requirements) only within a narrowly described historical 'fire limits' district of downtown Sedgwick; it sets wall-thickness and combustible-material rules but does not incorporate or reference the IBC/IRC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/NEC or any edition year for general residential/commercial construction.; The only references to an International Code family found anywhere in the Sedgwick Town Code are narrow, use-specific citations to the 2012 International Fire Code (IFC) and 2012 International Building Code (IBC) inside Chapter 112 (Marijuana Regulations) — Sec. 112.070-112.072, governing exiting/security/fire-extinguisher standards specifically for marijuana cultivation, product-manufacturing, and testing facilities (Ord. 04-2019, passed 5-14-2019). This is not a general building-code adoption applicable to ordinary residential or commercial construction and is not modeled as a codesAdopted entry for permit types in this file.; Electrical and plumbing work is explicitly NOT locally coded or inspected by the Town — the Town's own Application for Building Permit form flags 'New/Replace Electrical' and 'New/Replace Plumbing' work items with the parenthetical '(State Permit Required)', and Section C of the form asks whether a State permit will be required for the Electrician/Plumber/Engineer named on the application, confirming those trades are governed by Colorado state licensing/permitting (e.g., State Electrical Board), not a town-adopted trade code.; Chapter 150 (Flood Damage Prevention, Ord. 01-2017 passed 4-10-2017, last amended by Ord. 01-2023) is the Town's most substantive adopted land-use/construction regulation: it requires a Floodplain Development Permit for any development in the Special Flood Hazard Area, administered by the Zoning Administrator acting as Floodplain Administrator, and sets standards for elevation/flood-proofing of structures (lowest floor at least 2 feet above base flood elevation) — this operates alongside, not instead of, the general Building Permit.. Local amendments apply — see the Sedgwick overview page for the full list.

No. The Town's own Building Permit application form routes 'New/Replace Electrical' work, which includes EV charger installations, to the State of Colorado ('State Permit Required') rather than reviewing it under a town-adopted code — Sedgwick has not adopted the IBC/IRC/NEC. The Town still requires its own $60 flat-fee Building Permit for the project, but the electrical inspection itself is a separate State Electrical Permit process.
