EV Charger Installation Permit in Unincorporated White Pine County, Nevada

Required for installation of Level 2 or DC fast electric vehicle charging equipment on residential or commercial properties in unincorporated White Pine County. EV charging is not a separately defined permit type in the White Pine County Code; it is administered as an electrical permit (circuit/wiring/interconnection) under the county's adopted 2011 NEC, plus a building permit if a new support structure or canopy is added, mirroring the same treatment already documented in this file's solar-pv-permit entry. No dedicated EV-charger fee line item, valuation table, or charging-infrastructure code chapter is published on the county website. Re-chased 2026-07-20 (exhaustive, still no dollar figure found): re-fetched the live Fee Schedule page, which links only to the County Clerk's NRS Chapter 19 fee schedule (marriage licenses, document copies, candidate filing — unrelated to building/electrical permits), and the live Building Permit Procedures page, which links to the County's shared City of Ely/White Pine County Building Permit Application form. That application form itself has blank 'Total Valuation of Work', 'Building Permit', 'Plan Check', and 'Fuel Surcharge' fields filled in manually per-project by Building Department staff rather than a published fee table — confirming the fee-setting mechanism is genuinely case-by-case/unpublished, not merely undiscovered.

Tips

  • White Pine County has no dedicated EV-charger permit category, fee line item, or charging-infrastructure code chapter published — an installation is treated as a standard electrical permit (plus a building permit if a new structure is added), following the county's general, unpublished valuation-based fee approach, the same treatment documented for this file's solar-pv-permit entry.
  • Because no numeric fee table is published for any permit type in White Pine County, call the Building Department directly at (775) 289-6500 for a project-specific cost estimate before applying.
  • The county enforces the 2011 NEC edition (not a more recent cycle) for the electrical portion of an EV charger installation.
