EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Heyburn, Idaho

Heyburn requires an ev charger / evse permit for: No City of Heyburn building permit is required for a standard wall-mounted or pedestal EV charger installation -- only electrical work is involved; Electrical permit issued by the State of Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses (DOPL), not the City -- Heyburn 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 Heyburn Building Department (Community Development) at 208-679-8158 before starting work.

(with Idaho amendments)' (heyburn.id.gov, 2023 Residential New Home Permit application, page 2).; 2018 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), with Idaho amendments — same source as above.; 2018 International Building Code (IBC), with amendments — Heyburn City Code Title 2, Chapter 1, Section 2-1-1(A) adopts by reference 'the following recognized codes as currently adopted by the State of Idaho,' and the State of Idaho's own currently-published adopted-codes list (Idaho DOPL, 'Idaho Adopted Codes,' dopl.idaho.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2025-Updated-Idaho-Adopted-Codes.pdf) lists the 2018 IBC with amendments as the current state building code.; 2018 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — per the same Idaho DOPL 'Idaho Adopted Codes' publication, incorporated into Heyburn's code by the automatic state-code-reference mechanism in Heyburn City Code 2-1-1(A).; 2018 International Mechanical Code (IMC) and 2018 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — per the same Idaho DOPL 'Idaho Adopted Codes' publication.; 2017 Idaho State Plumbing Code (based on the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code) — per the same Idaho DOPL 'Idaho Adopted Codes' publication.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC), with amendments — per the same Idaho DOPL 'Idaho Adopted Codes' publication.; IMPORTANT — code-adoption mechanism: Heyburn City Code 2-1-1(A) (amd. Ord. 2026-721, 3-25-2026; Ord. 2026-722, 4-22-2026; codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/heyburnid/latest/heyburn_id/0-0-0-15510) states verbatim: 'The following recognized codes as currently adopted by the State of Idaho are adopted as the official building codes of the City of Heyburn. Each code shall be deemed superseded by successive versions of such codes as they are adopted or approved by the State of Idaho effective on the 1st day of January the year following the date any such codes are made effective for the State of Idaho, unless a different date is required by state statute.' This means Heyburn's adopted editions track the State of Idaho's current adopted editions automatically, rather than being independently re-adopted by city ordinance edition-by-edition. The city's own 2023-dated Residential and Commercial permit application PDFs both independently confirm the 2018 IRC/2018 IECC editions currently in force, consistent with the state list.; NOTE: No Heyburn-specific local amendment TEXT to the IRC/IBC (e.g., a snow-load or seismic design value table, or textual deviations from the model code sections) was found published separately from the state-level amendments referenced above, as of 2026-07-04. Omitted rather than invented.. Local amendments apply — see the Heyburn overview page for the full list.
