EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Harrison, Idaho

Harrison requires an ev charger / evse permit for: No City of Harrison building permit is required for a standard wall-mounted or pedestal EV charger installation -- only electrical work is involved, and Harrison's Building Permit fee (City Code 8-1-4) applies to structural/building work, not vehicle-charging circuits; Electrical permit issued by the State of Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), not the City -- Harrison has no electrical-permit program of its own; On the DOPL worksheet, EV charger circuits fall under 'OTHER INSTALLATIONS including COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL/SOLAR/RENEWABLE ENERGY' -- the worksheet states this category 'shall apply to any and all electrical installations not specifically mentioned elsewhere on this form,' and EV/EVSE circuits have no dedicated line item, so they fall under this catch-all; Do NOT check the 'Solar, Renewable Energy, power generation, power production, or energy storage systems' box on the DOPL worksheet for a straight EV charger install -- the fee formula is identical either way. If your project isn't listed, confirm with City of Harrison Building Department (City Hall) at (208) 689-3212 before starting work.
