This is PermitBase’s published record for Johnstown as of 2026-08-02. It has since been superseded — see the current record. A historical record reflects what PermitBase had verified at that time; it may not capture a real-world change the jurisdiction had made but PermitBase had not yet verified, and it includes any errors we later corrected. Snapshots are never edited retroactively.

The Building Codes landing page (2024 codes) is treated as the current governing citation in this corpus; the discrepancy itself is disclosed rather than silently resolved, since the individual permit pages have not been corrected as of this review.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger / EVSE Permit

Verified

Johnstown has no dedicated EV charger/EVSE fee line or standalone permit category on either its Electrical permit page or the 2026 Fee Schedule. EV charger (Level 2 or DC fast charging equipment) circuit installation is electrical work governed by the 2023 NEC as adopted by the Town and billed under the same area-based (residential) or valuation-based (commercial) Electrical Permit fee tables used for any other electrical service work. Johnstown's population (approximately 22,300 as of 2025, one of Colorado's fastest-growing towns) is well above the 10,000-resident municipal threshold that triggers Colorado HB24-1173's requirement to adopt a standardized/expedited EV charging system permitting program (adoption deadline December 31, 2025). Neither the Town's Electrical permit page nor its Building Codes page mentions HB24-1173, EV chargers, or a distinct EV permitting standard — consistent with the Town having elected HB24-1173's third compliance option (continuing its existing general permitting process) rather than adopting the Colorado Energy Office's model code or publishing new EV-specific standards, though this has not been explicitly confirmed by the Town.

Verified 2026-07-20 · Source

Requirements

  • Electrical permit required (General Permit for repair/replace of an existing service/panel, or New Service Permit for a new service/panel) for EV charger circuit installation, per the Town's standard Electrical permit process

  • Electrical contractor must hold a Town of Johnstown Contractor License (AEC category) in addition to Colorado state electrical licensure
  • Applied for electronically via eTRAKiT
  • Johnstown's population (over 10,000) places it within the scope of Colorado HB24-1173, which requires the Town to have adopted either the Colorado Energy Office's model EV charger permitting code, its own objective EV-specific standards with a 3-business-day decision-notification requirement, or to continue its existing permitting process, by December 31, 2025 — no Town publication confirms which option was selected

Commercial Tenant Improvement Permit (Tenant Finish / Commercial Alterations)

'Change of Use of a commercial space, or a home to a business/commercial space' also independently triggers a permit. Distinct from Commercial New in its fee stack (no tap/impact/park fees) though it shares the same valuation-based permit fee table and 65% plan-review rate.
