EV Charger / Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit in Greeley, Colorado

Installing a Level 2 (240V) EV charger circuit in Greeley requires a standard City of Greeley Electrical Permit, governed by Greeley Municipal Code Sec. 22-424(7). No dedicated EV-charger/EVSE fee line, application, or checklist is published -- an EV charger circuit is billed under the same valuation-based Building Permit Fee Schedule (Table 1-A) used for all electrical work, per the identical mechanism already documented in this corpus's electrical-permit and solar-pv-permit entries for Greeley. Unlike solar, EV chargers are NOT covered by Colorado's statewide $500 solar-permit fee cap (C.R.S. 24-48.5-113), which by its own terms applies only to solar energy systems.

  • Unlike solar, which is capped statewide at $500 in local fees (C.R.S. 24-48.5-113), EV charger permits have no statutory fee cap in Colorado -- the full valuation-based fee schedule applies.
  • DORA's separate statewide SolarAPP+ program (covering electrical plan review for 200+ Colorado jurisdictions including Greeley) is limited to residential solar and storage systems -- it does not extend to EV charger permitting.

Greeley, Colorado has adopted: Colorado is a home-rule state: there is no single mandatory statewide building code edition — each municipality adopts and amends its own codes. The only statewide floors are the building energy code (HB22-1362, effective 7/1/2023, requiring local governments that adopt an energy code to meet or exceed a specified electric- and solar-ready code baseline) and specific state statutes (e.g., ADU enabling legislation). Confirm your city's own adopted edition; this file documents Greeley's own program, verified directly from the Greeley Municipal Code (Title 22) via library.municode.com/co/greeley.; City of Greeley runs its own Building Inspection Division (part of Community Development) and administers its own permitting within Greeley city limits — it is not a Weld County program.
