Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Permit
VerifiedMilliken publishes no distinct EV-charger permit type, fee, or ordinance page. Colorado HB24-1173 (2024) requires counties with population 20,000+ and municipalities with population 10,000+ to adopt a streamlined EV-charging permit process by December 31, 2025; Milliken's population (approx. 8,400 at the 2020 Census, an estimated 9,400-9,700 in 2026) sits below the 10,000-population municipal threshold, so the Town is not confirmed to be legally required to have adopted a standalone EV-charging ordinance. A new circuit, outlet, or panel/service upgrade to serve an EV charger falls under the Town's standard 'Electrical Service Change' Counter Permit (24-72 hour approval) per the Building Application Process page.
