EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Frisco, Colorado

Required for installation of a residential or commercial electric vehicle charging station (EVSE) on any property within Frisco town limits. As with all electrical work in Frisco, the permit is issued entirely by the Summit County Building Inspection Division, not the Town of Frisco's own Building Division — the Town's own Building Permits & Plan Review page states verbatim that 'all electrical permits for the Town of Frisco are issued by the Summit County Building Inspection Division.' The Town's Comprehensive Fee Schedule has no distinct EV-charger/EVSE line item; a standalone EVSE circuit is billed under the same general Electrical Permit fee tiers listed for other standalone electrical work (e.g., the same flat-rate treatment as a Hot Tub electrical hookup).

Tips

  • Do not submit your EV charger electrical permit through the Town's CommunityCore portal — it will not be processed there. Apply directly to Summit County Building Inspection Division, the same rule that applies to all electrical work in Frisco.
  • Frisco has no distinct EV charger fee line item — a standalone EVSE circuit is billed under the general Electrical Permit 'Other' valuation tiers on the Town's Comprehensive Fee Schedule, typically the flat $120 rate for scope under $2,000 in valuation.
  • Summit County's building-department office is physically located inside Frisco town limits at County Commons, 0037 Peak One Drive, despite being a distinct county authority rather than a Town of Frisco department.
