Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit in Dacono, Colorado

The City of Dacono does not publish a standalone EV charger/EVSE permit application or fee line -- checked the Building Codes & Permits page, the 2026 Fee Schedule, and the Electrical License Contemporaneous Review Guidelines directly; none name electric vehicle charging stations, EV chargers, or EVSE. Because Dacono runs its own local electrical permitting program (unlike jurisdictions that defer entirely to the state), an EV charger installation is processed as a standard Electrical Permit under the 2023 NEC as adopted, billed on the City's 'All Other Electrical Fee' valuation-based schedule (the same table used for any non-new-construction electrical work), with contemporaneous Colorado State Electrical Board license verification for the installing electrician per this file's electrical-permit entry.

Tips

  • There is no separate 'EV charger permit' in Dacono -- it is processed as a standard Electrical Permit, billed under the 'All Other Electrical Fee' valuation table ($115.00 flat up to $2,000 valuation) rather than the residential square-footage table used for new-construction electrical work.
  • The City rejects 'electrical only' permit applications outright if the listed electrician's state license cannot be verified as active -- confirm your electrician's DORA license status before submitting for an EV charger installation.

Dacono, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — City of Dacono Building Codes page, adopted for all new permit submittals; 2024 International Residential Code (IRC); 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC); 2024 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC); 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC); 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); 2024 International Fire Code (IFC); 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC); Adopted via Ordinance 1002 (December 17, 2025, effective date of the 2024 code cycle) and subsequently amended by Ordinance 1010 (March 23, 2026); prior code cycle was adopted under Ordinance 949 (October 9, 2023). The City's live Building Codes webpage lists these three ordinances directly beneath the Adopted Codes list.; Colorado HB 1091 (Lofgren & Johnson Families Carbon Monoxide Safety Act) is separately cross-referenced on the City's Building Codes page as an applicable state law requiring carbon monoxide alarms under specified conditions — this is a state statute the City flags for awareness, not a City-adopted model code edition.; HB22-1362 (Colorado statewide energy code/electric- and solar-ready standard, applicable window July 2023-July 2026): Dacono's adoption of the 2024 IECC (effective December 17, 2025, per Ordinance 1002) falls within this window. The City's Building Codes page does not itself cite HB22-1362 or describe the 2024 IECC adoption as an HB22-1362 compliance action — this connection is inferred from the timing and code edition, not confirmed by an explicit City statement, so it is not asserted as a settled fact for any permit-level requirement in this file.. Local amendments apply — see the Dacono overview page for the full list.

No. The City does not publish a dedicated EV charger/EVSE permit application or fee line. An EV charger installation is processed as a standard Electrical Permit under the adopted 2023 NEC, billed on the 'All Other Electrical Fee' valuation table ($115.00 up to $2,000 valuation, then $11.50 plus $5.75 per additional $1,000).
