EV Charger / EVSE Permit (Standard Electrical Permit) in Dillon, Colorado

Installation of an electric vehicle charging station in Dillon is not a distinct permit type — it is billed and processed as ordinary electrical work through the Summit County Building Inspection Department's standard Technical Permit Application, the same process and fee schedule as the Electrical Permit entry. Summit County's published Building Permit Fee Schedule has NO distinct 'EV charger,' 'electric vehicle,' or 'EVSE' line item; a dedicated Level 2 charger circuit is billed under the same unit-area or valuation-based standalone electrical fee tiers used for any other electrical work. Summit County's Sustainability/Electric Vehicles page (which covers the County's own public charging infrastructure) likewise describes no dedicated EV-charger permitting process, fee, or land-use code, and does not reference Colorado's HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits, 2024) despite Summit County's population exceeding that law's 20,000-resident county threshold — the County has published no HB24-1173-driven adoption of streamlined EV-charging land-use permitting.

When you need this permit

  • Submit the Technical Permit Application in person at the Summit County Building Inspection Department Frisco office, the same form used for all standalone electrical work
  • The Summit County Building Permit Fee Schedule has no distinct EV-charger/EVSE fee line; a dedicated charger circuit is billed under the standard unit-area tier (where it is part of a larger area calculation) or under the valuation-based 'All other electrical work' tiers
  • Work must comply with the 2024 National Electrical Code series as adopted by Summit County (same code as the Electrical Permit entry)

Tips

  • There is no distinct 'EV charger permit' in Dillon/Summit County — apply for a standard electrical permit via the Technical Permit Application; a dedicated charger circuit under $2,000 in valuation is billed at the flat $146.00 rate.
  • Summit County's population exceeds the 20,000-resident threshold that would trigger mandatory compliance action under Colorado's HB24-1173 (EV Charging System Permits law) by December 31, 2025, but no published County adoption of the state's streamlined EV Charging Model Land Use Code or an opt-out ordinance was found — confirm current status directly with the County before assuming a streamlined process exists.
  • Confirm with the Dillon Town Planner whether your specific project also needs a Town Development Permit before or alongside the Summit County electrical permit.
