Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger / EVSE Permit in Kellogg, Idaho

The City of Kellogg does not issue electrical permits at all — like all electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work, EV charger/EVSE circuit installation is permitted and inspected by the State of Idaho (Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses / Idaho Building Safety), not the City. No dedicated EV charger/EVSE fee category exists in IDAPA 24.39.10 (Rules of the Idaho Electrical Board) -- an EV charger circuit added to an existing residence is billed under the flat $65 Existing Residential Dwelling Unit Permit fee, while a commercial or multi-family installation is billed under the Other Installation (Including Industrial and Commercial) Permit's wiring-cost-tiered schedule, both confirmed directly against DOPL's own published electrical board rules (the same statewide schedule verified for Idaho City and Jerome, ID in this same research pass). The City of Kellogg itself does not publish any fee schedule at all (fees are confirmed by phone) and has no bearing on the electrical fee. A City building permit is separately required only if the installation includes a structural/mounting element (e.g., a charger pedestal or canopy), submitted under the general new-construction/alteration category on the City's single combined Building Department Permit Application, since no dedicated EV checkbox exists (mirroring the same treatment as solar in this file).

Tips

  • The City of Kellogg itself does not issue electrical permits of any kind, including for EV chargers — you must go through the State of Idaho DOPL directly, the same as for any other electrical work in the city.
  • If your installation is a simple wall-mounted charger on an existing structure with no new structural element, only the DOPL electrical permit applies; a separate City building permit is only needed if you are adding a structural element like a pedestal or canopy.
  • The City of Kellogg does not publish a fee schedule for any permit type — call the Building Department at (208) 786-9131 for current fees before applying for the structural portion, if applicable.
