EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Henderson, Nevada

Henderson lists an itemized 'EV receptacle' fee on its Development Services Center (DSC) Fee Schedule — a standalone flat fee, separate from the general electrical permit line items and lower than a full solar PV permit. This entry covers a standalone EV charger/receptacle installation that is not part of a solar PV system. When an EV charger is installed together with rooftop solar, the work is typically bundled into the solar PV permit instead, which carries the same $223 EV receptacle line for that combined scope.

Tips

  • Henderson's EV receptacle fee is a flat $223 per receptacle — a genuinely line-itemized EV charger permit fee rather than a general electrical catch-all, so the cost is predictable per receptacle.
  • 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.
