EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Mead, Colorado
The Town of Mead has no separate permit type or fee line item for EV charging station (EVSE) installation. A Level 1/Level 2 EV charging circuit is electrical work, governed by the 2024 NEC as adopted by Ordinance No. 1092, and is billed the same way as any other electrical work in Mead: per the most current State of Colorado Electrical Board fee schedule, plus or minus 15% (Colorado Revised Statutes Article 23, Section 12-23-117, which caps local electrical-inspection surcharges statewide at 15% above the State Board's own schedule and bars any other local electrical fee). Mead's population is below the 10,000-resident threshold that triggers Colorado HB24-1173's mandatory EV-permitting-process requirements for covered municipalities.

When you need this permit
- Permit required for the EV charger circuit/panel work, per the Town's 'Do I Need A Building Permit?' page listing 'adding electrical wiring' as requiring a permit
- Governed by the 2024 NEC as adopted by Ordinance No. 1092
- Electrical fees are calculated per the most current State of Colorado Electrical Board fee schedule (+/-15%), since C.R.S. § 12-23-117 bars Colorado municipalities from imposing any other electrical-permit fee or charge
- General Town of Mead business license required for the performing electrical contractor
- Application must be submitted online via the CommunityConnect Portal
- As a municipality with population under Colorado HB24-1173's 10,000-resident threshold, Mead is not a jurisdiction the statute mandates to adopt the state's model EV charging permitting code or a 3-business-day decision timeline — no evidence was found that Mead has voluntarily opted in

State of Colorado Electrical Permit Fees schedule (base figures effective April 1, 2016, the version referenced by multiple Colorado municipalities including the electrical-permit entry for Mead); the State Board updates this schedule periodically, and Mead's own Comprehensive Fee Schedule states fees track 'the most current version' — current-year dollar figures should be confirmed against the live State Electrical Board schedule. No EV-charger/EVSE-specific line item exists on the state schedule; a retrofit charger circuit falls under the general valuation-based 'all other electrical fees' category rather than the per-square-foot new-residential-construction category.Review timeline

Tips
- There is no dedicated EV-charger permit or fee category in Mead — apply through the standard Electrical Permit process on the CommunityConnect Portal.
- Colorado law (C.R.S. § 12-23-117) caps what any municipality, including Mead, can charge for electrical permits at 15% above the State Electrical Board's own schedule, and bars charging any other electrical fee — so Mead's fee is fundamentally a state-set figure, not a locally invented one.
- Mead's small population (well under Colorado's 10,000-resident HB24-1173 threshold) means the Town is not statutorily required to offer the state's expedited EV-charging permit timeline — confirm current practice directly with the Building Division before assuming an expedited review applies.
