EV Charger / Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit in Woodland Park, Colorado

Woodland Park has no dedicated EV charger/EVSE permit type or fee line. As with solar PV, the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department (PPRBD) — not the City of Woodland Park's own Planning and Building Department — issues the electrical permit covering EV charger circuit wiring, panel/service upgrades, and equipment installation, under PPRBD's adopted NEC edition. Confirmed via review of PPRBD's 2023 Building Permit Fee Schedule - Woodland Park (Table A/B), which contains no line item for 'EV,' 'electric vehicle,' or 'charging station'; a charger installation is billed under the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee (Table A) plus a Trade Permit Attachment Fee for the electrical trade (Table B/B.1), the identical mechanism documented in this file's solar-pv-permit entry. Woodland Park's population (approximately 8,100 as of 2025) is below the 10,000-resident threshold that triggers Colorado HB24-1173's mandatory EV charger permitting model code and 3-business-day decision-notification requirement, so the City/PPRBD is not a 'covered municipality' under that law. Re-verified 2026-07-20 via a direct re-fetch of the live PPRBD 2023 Building Permit Fee Schedule - Woodland Park PDF (February 2025 ICC valuation data, effective June 30, 2025 — current as of this review): Table B ($100.00/trade, commercial) and Table B.1 ($50.00/trade, detached accessory structure or 1-2 family dwelling alteration) figures confirmed unchanged and current; Table A ($50.00 minimum, $1-$500 valuation, scaling per the published bracket table) also confirmed current. No EV/electric vehicle/charging station line item exists anywhere in the schedule.

When you need this permit

  • Apply for the electrical permit covering the EV charger circuit/equipment through PPRBD (2880 International Circle, Colorado Springs, or routed via Woodland Park City Hall), not the City's own Planning and Building Department, which handles only zoning/ZDP review
  • Work must comply with PPRBD's adopted NEC edition (2023 NEC or the state's most recently adopted edition) and be performed by a licensed electrician unless the homeowner qualifies for owner-occupied self-permitting Owner-builderContractor
  • If the charger installation is bundled with new construction or a remodel, it may be captured as a trade permit attachment on that structural building permit rather than filed as a standalone electrical permit
  • A separate Woodland Park Zoning Development Permit (ZDP) is not typically required solely for an EV charger unless the installation involves new site work, a new structure, or setback-affecting equipment placement — confirm with the City's Planning and Building Department for edge cases
  • Woodland Park/PPRBD is NOT a 'covered municipality' under Colorado HB24-1173 (population under the 10,000-resident threshold), so the state's mandatory EV charger permitting model code and 3-business-day decision-notification requirement do not apply here as a matter of state law

Tips

  • File EV charger electrical work through PPRBD, the same regional authority that handles Woodland Park's building and solar-PV electrical permits — not through the City's own Planning and Building Department, which handles zoning only.
  • Because Woodland Park's population is under the HB24-1173 'covered municipality' threshold, don't assume the state's 3-business-day decision timeline or the EV charger permitting model code apply here; confirm current practice directly with PPRBD.
