EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Nunn, Colorado

The Town of Nunn does not publish a dedicated EV charger/EVSE permit type. Installation of a Level 2 EV charger is permitted under the Town's standard Electrical Permit, administered on the Town's behalf by its contracted plan-review/inspection provider, SAFEbuilt. As with all electrical work in Nunn, the Town verifies the installing electrician's Colorado DORA state electrical license before accepting the application (per C.R.S. 12-115-120(1)/(10), HB19-1086) — Nunn has no local electrical contractor licensing program of its own. The Town's 2026 Fee Schedule publishes a general two-tier Building Permit Admin Fee ($75 plan-review / $50 One Stop) plus a 2% Use Tax, but names no EV-specific line item, so no EV-specific dollar figure can be verified.

When you need this permit

  • Electrical permit application must list the electrician's Colorado DORA state electrical license number; the Town verifies it is active before accepting the application
  • Governed by the National Electrical Code as adopted by reference in Nunn Municipal Code 15.04.040 (codified as the 2002 edition, though SAFEbuilt's current operational submittal guidance references the 2020 NEC — an unresolved discrepancy)
  • If the electrician performing the work changes before final inspection, the Town must be notified and will re-verify the new electrician's license
  • No EV-specific permit category, application, or dedicated fee line item is published by the Town of Nunn as of 2026-07-23 (the Town's general two-tier Building Permit Admin Fee structure applies instead — see fees below)

Fee schedule

Town Admin Fee (Building Permit) + Use TaxPARTIALLY CLOSED 2026-07-23 on a live primary source: the Town of Nunn's 'Fee Schedule, Effective January 22nd, 2026' (PDF, linked live from the Town homepage — not located in the 2026-07-06 or 2026-07-20 chases) establishes exactly two Building-Permit Admin Fee tiers Town-wide: 'Admin Fee (permits requiring plan review) $75.00' and 'Admin Fee (One Stop permits-re-roof, hot water heater etc.) $50.00', plus 'Use Tax on all Building Permits 2%'. The schedule does not name EV chargers or a generic 'electrical permit' under either tier, so which flat fee applies is not Town-published; both real figures are reported. This is the Town Clerk's own flat component only — charged in addition to SAFEbuilt's separate valuation-based fee, which remains unpublished as a table.
$50.00 flat Admin Fee if processed as a 'One Stop' permit, or $75.00 if SAFEbuilt plan review is required, plus 2% Use Tax on all Building Permits. No EV-specific line item is published.

No. 317 6-20-2019); 2018 International Residential Code (IRC), chapters 1-43 and appendix chapters H and M, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.120, as amended (Ord.

No. 317 6-20-2019); 2018 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC), chapters 1-8, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.150 (Ord. No. 317 6-20-2019); 2018 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), chapters 1-11, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.160 (Ord. No. 317 6-20-2019); 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), chapters 1-5, adopted by reference as the town energy conservation code — NMC 15.04.140 (Ord. No. 317 6-20-2019); IBC section 1301.1.1/101.4.6 and IRC chapter 11 are both explicitly amended to substitute the 2012 IECC as well; National Electrical Code, 2002 edition, adopted by reference — NMC 15.04.040 (codified text, unamended since original Code 2002 codification). NOTE: this is the currently codified NEC edition in the 2024 Nunn Municipal Code as republished by Ordinance No. 326 (adopted 6-20-2024, adopting/enacting the Municipal Code by reference). However, SAFEbuilt's own current 'Photovoltaic System Submittal Requirements' handout (the Town's contracted plan-review/inspection agency) states 'Applicable current codes are the 2020 NEC, 2018 International Codes' — a direct discrepancy between the codified 2002 NEC text and SAFEbuilt's operational reference. Flagged honestly rather than resolved by assumption; the governing citation is the codified 2002 NEC per NMC 15.04.040 pending confirmation from the Town.; Chapter 15.16 (Energy Efficiency Construction) of the Nunn Municipal Code additionally references the 1977/1978 Colorado Model Energy Efficiency Construction and Renovation Standards for Nonresidential Buildings and the companion Colorado Recommended Energy Conservation 'Performance' Code for Residential Buildings — these appear to be vestigial/superseded provisions retained from the original 2002 code codification and predate the town's adoption of the 2012 IECC at NMC 15.04.140 (2019); not applied as the governing energy standard in this file.. Local amendments apply — see the Nunn overview page for the full list.
