EV Charger / Electric Vehicle Charging Station Permit in Fallon, Nevada

The City of Fallon has no dedicated EV charger permit, application, or fee schedule. Installation of an electric vehicle charging station (Level 1/2 EVSE) is electrical work and falls under the City's standard Electrical Permit process (2023 NEC as adopted by Ordinance No. 788), using the Permit Application's 'Minor Electrical & Plumbing' section (new electric circuit) or, for a panel/service upgrade, the amperage-change field — the same mechanism documented in the electrical-permit entry. No EV-specific line item was found in the Municode-hosted ordinance text or on the City website. Re-chased exhaustively 2026-07-20: directly downloaded and text-extracted the City's Building Permit Application PDF (no fee table present, only a 'Minor Electrical & Plumbing' checkbox section), and re-checked the Business Licenses & Building Permits page and a fresh web search for any City of Fallon fee-schedule resolution PDF -- none found. This confirms the same gap independently, not merely an unrechased carryover.
