EV Charger / Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit in Lochbuie, Colorado
The Town of Lochbuie has no dedicated EV-charger or EVSE permit type or fee line. Installing a Level 2 (240V) home EV charger requires a standard Town of Lochbuie Electrical Permit for the new circuit or service work. As with all Lochbuie electrical work, fee-setting is explicitly deferred to the Colorado State Electrical Board (DORA) schedule plus a 15% Town surcharge -- Lochbuie does not run its own locally-set dollar-figure electrical fee table for circuit or panel work.

Fee schedule
Electrical Permit Fee (EV charger circuit or service work)Town of Lochbuie Fees, updated April 2026, Section C item 7 -- a direct pass-through of the CRS 12-23-117(3) / 12-115-120 state-mandated schedule, not a locally-set fee table. No distinct 'EV charger'/'EVSE' line item exists; this is the same general electrical-permit mechanism used for any circuit or service work in Lochbuie. Base rate exhaustively chased 2026-07-20: the Colorado State Electrical Board's own site (dpo.colorado.gov) returns HTTP 403 to automated fetch; the underlying state-mandated fee table was instead confirmed via Douglas County's official 'Electrical Permit Application and Electrical Fee Schedule' (douglasco.gov, filename dated 2025, table itself internally dated 01/12/2023 -- the most recent published copy located), Section B 'ALL OTHER FEES' (applicable to a non-square-footage-based residential circuit addition like an EV charger). This is the same statewide-capped rate every CO jurisdiction in this corpus must use as its ceiling under CRS 12-23-117(3), but the exact current-year (2026) figure was not independently reconfirmed against a state-published 2026 update, so treat the computed $65.55 as indicative rather than certain -- confirm with the Town (303-990-5776) or State Electrical Board (303-894-7800) before budgeting.
Electrical Permit fees as charged by the State of Colorado Electrical Board, plus 15% -- base state rate found: $57.00 flat for installation valuation not more than $2,000 (a standalone EV charger circuit typically falls here), or $5 per $1,000/fraction thereof plus $57.00 for valuation above $2,000; with Lochbuie's 15% surcharge, approx. $65.55 for a sub-$2,000 installation
Class E (Electrical) Contractor License -- All Classes Registration FeeProrated quarterly by month of issue per the April 2026 fee schedule; required of the installing electrical contractor, separate from the permit fee itself
$15.00 per calendar year

Tips
- Lochbuie's electrical fees are a direct pass-through of the Colorado State Electrical Board's own fee schedule plus the Town's 15% surcharge -- there is no locally-published flat-rate fee table for an EV charger circuit; the base rate is set by the State of Colorado, not the Town.
- If your EV charger installation is framed as a residential Electrical Service Change (amp upgrade), it may qualify for the faster One Stop Permit track -- state the amperage upgrade on your application.
- There is no dedicated 'EV charger' or 'EVSE' checkbox or fee line anywhere in Lochbuie's published fee schedule or permit requirements list -- treat it as ordinary electrical work.
- Confirm the exact current pass-through rate with the Town (303-990-5776 or building@lochbuie.org) or the Colorado State Electrical Board (303-894-7800) before budgeting, since the dollar amount is not published by Lochbuie itself.

Lochbuie, Colorado has adopted: 2021 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — per the Town's live Building Department webpage (Adopted Building Codes section), the current governing statement; 2021 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) — per the same live webpage statement; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per the same live webpage statement; Municipal Code Chapter 18 (Building Regulations), Town of Lochbuie — the live webpage directs to 'Chapter 18 - Building Regulations' of the Municode-hosted Municipal Code for local amendments; Municode's library.municode.com renders chapter text via a JavaScript/Angular single-page application backed by a private API, which could not be retrieved directly (repeated 403s/404s on documented API-guess and Wayback Machine snapshot attempts, all of which returned only the unrendered JS shell, not chapter text) — the live department webpage's own explicit code-list statement (2021 IPC/IECC, 2023 NEC) is treated as the current, governing, actively-maintained source per this corpus's standing practice of trusting a live department page over a static/undated artifact, consistent with the Vail file's precedent.; Document-currency conflict noted honestly: three different code vintages appear across the Town's own published materials — the live Building Permits webpage states 2021 IPC/2021 IECC/2023 NEC; the 'Design Criteria Town of Lochbuie' PDF (undated) lists 2018 IRC/2018 IECC/2017 NEC for residential and 2018 IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/2017 NEC for commercial, plus 2018 IPMC/IEBC/Swimming Pool & Spa Code as 'Other Adopted Codes'; and SAFEbuilt's own trade-specific guidance documents cite yet other editions (PV Submittal Requirements, last revised 10.22.2021, cites '2020 NEC, 2018 International Codes'; the Re-Roof Requirements guide states 'Current code 2018 IRC'). No IBC or IRC edition is named anywhere on the live Building Permits webpage itself — only IPC, IECC, and NEC are explicitly stated there. Per the live-webpage-wins convention, this file treats 2021 IPC/2021 IECC/2023 NEC as verified-current, and lists 2018-cycle IRC/IBC/IMC/IFGC/IPMC/IEBC/Swimming Pool & Spa Code from the Design Criteria PDF as the best-available (but visibly stale, per the department's own newer NEC/IPC/IECC citations) reference point for those code families pending confirmation directly with the Building Department.; 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) — per the Design Criteria Town of Lochbuie PDF (undated, 'Residential Construction' column); not restated on the live webpage, so carried at partial confidence pending direct confirmation; 2018 International Building Code (IBC), 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC), 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — per the same Design Criteria PDF ('Commercial Construction' column); not restated on the live webpage, partial confidence; 2018 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC), 2018 Swimming Pool & Spa Code — per the same Design Criteria PDF ('Other Adopted Codes' column); partial confidence. Local amendments apply — see the Lochbuie overview page for the full list.
No. The Town of Lochbuie has no dedicated EV-charger or EVSE permit type or fee line. A home Level 2 charger circuit is permitted as an ordinary Electrical Permit, with fees set by the Colorado State Electrical Board's own schedule plus a 15% Town surcharge.
