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 documented on this file's electrical-permit entry. Summit County's published Building Permit Fee Schedule (directly fetched and reviewed this session) 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 — no evidence of a HB24-1173-driven adoption of streamlined EV-charging land-use permitting was found published by the County as of this session.

When you need this permit

  • Confirm with Dillon Town Planner Ned West, (970) 262-3421, whether the specific EV charger installation also requires a Town Development Permit (e.g., if bundled with a larger project) — the same check documented on this file's electrical-permit entry
  • 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
  • Confirmed directly against the Summit County Building Permit Fee Schedule: no distinct EV-charger/EVSE fee line exists; a dedicated charger circuit is billed under the standard unit-area (if part of a larger area calculation) or valuation-based 'All other electrical work' tiers
  • Work must comply with the 2024 National Electrical Code series as adopted by Summit County (same code cited on this file's 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.
