EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Henderson, Nevada

Henderson has a dedicated, itemized 'EV receptacle' fee on its Development Services Center (DSC) Fee Schedule -- a standalone flat fee separate from the general electrical permit line items, distinct from (and lower than) a full solar PV permit. This entry covers a standalone EV charger/receptacle installation that is NOT part of a PV (solar) system; when an EV charger is installed together with rooftop solar, it is typically bundled into the solar-pv-permit instead (see the sibling solar-pv-permit entry in this dataset, which lists the same $223 EV receptacle line item for that combined scenario).

Tips

  • Henderson's EV receptacle fee is a flat $223 per receptacle -- one of the few jurisdictions in this dataset with a truly dedicated, line-itemized EV charger permit fee rather than a general electrical catch-all.
  • If your EV charger is being installed alongside new or expanded rooftop solar, it will likely be bundled into the solar-pv-permit rather than billed as a separate standalone EV receptacle -- check with DSC Online to confirm which permit type applies to your project.
  • The Henderson DSC Fee Schedule (effective 10/01/2025) lists this fee on Table B (Miscellaneous Building Items) though it is also referenced from Table C (Building MPE Items) in the general electrical permit documentation -- the $223 figure is consistent across both citations.
