Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station / EVSE Permit in Victor, Colorado

The City of Victor has no distinct EV charger/EVSE permit application or fee line. An EV charging station installation is permitted as ordinary electrical work through the City's own local Electrical Permit program (Victor runs its own electrical permitting/inspection via its contracted Building Official, ShumsCoda, rather than deferring to the Colorado State Electrical Board), billed under the 'Nonresidential Buildings and Residential Alteration or Addition' Electric Permit fee table -- the same valuation-based schedule the city's own fee schedule uses for the electrical-interconnection portion of its solar permit, since the Fee & Fine Schedule does not name EV chargers as their own line item. Governed by the 2014 NEC as locally adopted, which includes Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) provisions. Victor's population (roughly 400) is far below the 10,000-person threshold that triggers 'covered municipality' status under Colorado's HB24-1173 (Electric Vehicle Charging System Permits Act, effective 8/7/2024), so that statute's mandatory model-code/objective-standards adoption and 3-business-day decision-notification requirement do not apply here.

When you need this permit

  • No standalone EV charger/EVSE permit application exists; apply for the City's standard Electrical Permit (Building Permit Application, Electrical scope), submitted in person at Victor City Hall
  • City Building Inspectors perform contemporaneous, on-site license verification of electrical workers per City policy, the same requirement applied to all other electrical work
  • Fee billed under the 'Nonresidential Buildings and Residential Alteration or Addition' Electric Permit fee table (valuation-based), the same category the city's fee schedule uses for the electrical portion of solar installations, since EV chargers are not enclosed-living-area new-construction wiring
  • Governed by the 2014 NEC as adopted by the City of Victor, which includes Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) requirements for EVSE branch circuits and disconnects
  • Victor's population is far below the 10,000-person threshold for 'covered municipality' status under Colorado HB24-1173, so the Act's mandatory EV-permitting-standards adoption and 3-business-day decision timeline do not apply as a legal requirement here

Tips

  • Victor runs its OWN electrical permitting/inspection program — do not assume the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA) issues permits for EV charger work in Victor city limits; apply through the City Building Department the same way you would for the electrical portion of a solar installation.
  • There is no dedicated EV charger fee category — expect the electrical permit to be billed under the same 'Nonresidential Buildings and Residential Alteration or Addition' valuation-based table used for solar and other non-new-construction electrical work.

Victor, Colorado has adopted: 2012 International Building Code (IBC) — City of Victor Design Criteria document (Building Department page, 'Adopted Codes' section); 2012 International Residential Code (IRC); 2012 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2012 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2012 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); 2014 National Electrical Code (NEC); Local amendments to the above codes are adopted by Ordinance No. 485; the Design Criteria document's direct link to the Ordinance No. 485 PDF (hosted on the City's legacy cityofvictor.com/downloads path) returned a connection error on re-check and could not be independently re-verified as still live — the amendment's EXISTENCE and code-cycle citation is confirmed via the current Design Criteria document itself (a live, actively-published Building Department resource), but its full text could not be retrieved during this pass.; Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code: Ordinance No. 526 (adopted 3/19/2026) amends Chapter 18 of the Victor Municipal Code by adding a new Article 12 adopting the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code with local amendments — confirmed via the Municode Library's 'Adopted Ordinances Not Yet Codified' index for Victor, CO (ordinance not yet folded into the codified Chapter 18 text, which remains current only through Ordinance No. 511/2019 in the online codified view). This aligns with SB23-166's statewide Wildfire Resiliency Code Board mandate requiring local governments in the Wildland-Urban Interface to adopt minimum wildfire-resiliency structure-hardening and defensible-space standards by April 1, 2026.; The Design Criteria document (undated on-page, but the only live current-codes statement the Building Department publishes) is treated as the governing adopted-code list; it does not reference the 2024 code cycle used by some other Colorado jurisdictions in this corpus (e.g. Vail) — Victor's own document names 2012 I-Codes and 2014 NEC specifically, and no newer supersession was found on the Building Department, Building Permits, Ordinances and Resolutions, or Forms pages during this review.. Local amendments apply — see the Victor overview page for the full list.
