Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger / EVSE Permit in Kersey, Colorado

Kersey has no dedicated EV charger/EVSE fee line or standalone permit category. EV charger (Level 2 or DC fast charging equipment) circuit installation is 'electrical only' work under the Town's standard Electrical Permit process, governed by the 2020 NEC per the Town's Current Building Regulations page, with the same contemporaneous Colorado DORA license-verification requirement applied to all electrical permits. The Town's own Home Additions and Accessory Structures guides direct applicants with questions about the State of Colorado 'Electric Ready Code' to contact the Building Department for applicability — a reference to new-construction electric/EV-readiness wiring requirements under HB22-1362, not a distinct EV charger permit fee or process. Kersey's population (well under 2,000) is far below the 10,000-resident municipal threshold that triggers Colorado HB24-1173's requirement to adopt a standardized/expedited EV charging system permitting program, so the Town is not required to have adopted a distinct EV permitting track.

When you need this permit

  • Electrician's name and Colorado state electrical license number must be listed on the 'electrical only' permit application for the EV charger circuit; applications missing this are rejected
  • The Town verifies the listed electrician's license is active via the Colorado DORA online License Lookup before approving the permit
  • Governed by the 2020 NEC as adopted by the Town, including NEC Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Charging System) provisions
  • Submitted via the Town's Community Core online portal
  • Kersey's population is well below Colorado HB24-1173's 10,000-resident municipal threshold, so no distinct state-mandated EV charging permit standard applies here

Fee schedule

Electrical FeeNo distinct EV charger/EVSE fee line exists; no standalone electrical-only fee table was found. Kersey's own published fee documents do not break out or confirm a local electrical fee surcharge percentage separate from Colorado's state-mandated schedule. Re-chased 2026-07-20: attempted to re-locate and re-download the Town's 'Development Fee Schedule' but the live document link could not be resolved and direct URL-pattern guesses returned HTTP 404. RE-CHASED AGAIN 2026-07-23 (partially closed): the exact URL (kerseygov.com/Documents/Departments/Planning%20Department/Development%20Fee%20Schedule%2003%2003%202026.pdf) now resolves successfully (HTTP 200, re-downloaded and re-extracted directly) and the $51.75 Electrical line item is confirmed still present and unchanged in the current live document — the 07-20 access failure is resolved. The remaining gap (whether $51.75 reflects a real fee-schedule mechanism or an outdated worked-example placeholder) is unresolved: cross-checking the statewide CRS 12-23-117 base-rate table (Larimer County Table 1-E) shows a comparable-size home would compute to $168 under the standard state formula, which does not match Kersey's $51.75 figure — confirm the true current EV/electrical fee directly with SAFEbuilt Windsor (970-686-7511) before relying on either number.

Tips

  • Kersey does not price EV chargers separately from other electrical work — expect the same 'electrical only' permit process and fee used for any other electrical installation.
  • As with any electrical-only permit in Kersey, make sure whoever is actually performing the EV charger installation matches the Colorado-licensed electrician's name on file — inspectors may re-verify identity/licensure at any inspection at their discretion. Contractor
  • As one of this dataset's smaller Colorado jurisdictions, Kersey is well under the population threshold that would legally require it to adopt a distinct, streamlined EV charging permit process under Colorado HB24-1173.

Kersey, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) — actively cited as the current adopted code on all nine of the Town's SAFEbuilt-published 'Building Guides for Homeowners' (Additions, Accessory Structures, Re-Roofing, Basement Finish, Decks, Patio Covers/Carports, Window Replacement, Pole Barns, Swimming Pools), each stamped 'Document published by SAFEbuilt, Inc. 1.1.2026' and headed '2024 IRC' — these are the Town's most recently updated, actively maintained permitting documents (site-wide document-center timestamps show a 2026-03-30 publish date).; 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per the Town's Planning Department 'Current Building Regulations' page, which references a '2020 NEC - Significant Changes Residential Electrical' resource alongside the Municipal Code Chapter 18 structure.; RESOLVED 2026-07-23 (live primary source, Municode Library, library.municode.com/co/kersey, Kersey Municipal Code 'VERSION: OCT 23, 2025 (CURRENT)', codified through Ordinance No. 2025-0008 enacted 6/10/2025): the Municipal Code's own home page lists 'Adopted Ordinances Not Yet Codified,' including Ordinance No. 2025-0010, adopted 9/9/2025, titled verbatim 'AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING BY REFERENCE THE INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL MECHANICAL CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL EXISTING BUILDING CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE, 2024 EDITION, THE INTERNATIONAL SWIMMING POOL and SPA CODE, 2024 EDITION, AND THE INTERNATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION CODE, 2024 EDITION, PROMULGATED BY THE INTERNATIONAL CODE COUNCIL.' This is a real, dated, numbered ordinance (not a guess or inference) and directly confirms the SAFEbuilt-published '2024 IRC' guides were current and correct — the Town has adopted 2024 editions of IBC, IRC, IFGC, IPC, IMC, IEBC, IPMC, ISPSC, and IECC, superseding the 2018/2012 editions still shown in Chapter 18's currently-codified section text (Sec. 18-19 Building Code = 2018 IBC, Sec. 18-44 Residential Code = 2018 IRC, Sec. 18-64 Mechanical Code = 2018 IMC, Sec. 18-89 Fuel Gas Code = 2018 IFGC, Sec. 18-109 Plumbing Code = 2018 IPC, Sec. 18-134 Energy Conservation Code = 2012 IECC, Sec. 18-154 Property Maintenance Code = 2018 IPMC, Sec. 18-179 Existing Building Code = 2018 IEBC) — those codified sections simply have not yet been updated in Municode's online supplement to reflect the 9/9/2025 ordinance, exactly as the Municode banner itself discloses ('This Code of Ordinances... may not reflect the most current legislation adopted by the Municipality'). Notably, Ordinance No. 2025-0010's list does NOT include the International Fire Code — Article X (Sec. 18-199, adopted separately by Ordinance No. 2021-0001) remains the 2018 International Fire Code with no 2024-edition update found. Per this corpus's practice of treating the more current, actively-distributed and now ordinance-confirmed source as authoritative, this file treats IBC/IRC/IFGC/IPC/IMC/IEBC/IPMC/ISPSC as 2024 editions (per Ord. No. 2025-0010, 9/9/2025) and IFC as the 2018 edition (per Ord. No. 2021-0001, 1/12/2021, locally amended by Sec. 18-200) — the prior 'partial' flag on the non-residential code editions is resolved.; HB22-1362 (Colorado statewide energy code floor, 2021 IECC + electric/solar/EV-ready provisions, effective window July 2023-July 2026): RESOLVED IN PART 2026-07-23 — Municode confirms Chapter 18, Article VII (Sec. 18-134) currently codifies the 2012 IECC (not the ambiguous, undated 'Energy Conservation Code' the static Current Building Regulations page implied), and the same live Ordinance No. 2025-0010 (adopted 9/9/2025, not yet codified) adopts by reference the 2024 IECC, which post-dates and satisfies HB22-1362's 2021-IECC-floor requirement. The Home Additions guide's instruction to submit an 'Energy Code Compliance Report (www.energycodes.gov) or REScheck calculations' is consistent with 2024 IECC compliance documentation but still does not itself name an edition year — the 2024 IECC edition-year figure comes from the Ordinance 2025-0010 citation above, not from the SAFEbuilt guide.. Local amendments apply — see the Kersey overview page for the full list.
