EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Price, Utah

EV charger/EVSE installation for property within Price City limits falls under Carbon County's standard building permit process (Carbon County Building & Planning Department issues all building permits for Price City — Price City has no independent building-permit function; see the residential-building-permit entry's department/localAmendments notes). Carbon County's official Building Permits page (carbon.utah.gov/service/building-permits/) lists 'Altering electrical, gas, or plumbing systems' among the reasons a permit is required under its 'When do I need a permit?' FAQ, with no EV-charger-specific or electric-vehicle mention found anywhere on carbon.utah.gov as of a direct check on 2026-07-20. No dollar-amount valuation-based fee table (for building permits generally, let alone EV/electrical specifically) could be located on Carbon County's official website after an exhaustive search — matching the same fee-table gap already documented for Price's other Carbon-County-administered permit types in this dataset. Per the zero-tolerance data policy, this entry is left with fees:[] and confidence:'partial' rather than fabricated or borrowed from a non-Carbon-County source.

Tips

  • Price City has no building-permit process of its own — EV charger/EVSE permits for property within Price City limits are applied for at Carbon County's Building & Planning Office (751 E 100 N, Suite 2600, Price, UT 84501) or online at carbon.utah.gov, not at Price City Hall.
  • Carbon County's Building Permits page lists 'Altering electrical, gas, or plumbing systems' as a reason a permit is required, with no distinct EV-charger or electric-vehicle category found anywhere on the county's site.
  • Carbon County could not be confirmed to publish a dollar-amount valuation-based fee table for building or electrical permits anywhere on its official website — contact the Building Department directly at (435) 636-3260 or planning@carbon.utah.gov for a current fee quote before applying. Re-chased again 2026-07-23 (Wayback CDX sweep, Business License page/Ordinance 281 trace, Utah PMN full-text search API) with no new figure found — see this jurisdiction's residential-building-permit localAmendments for the full 2026-07-23 chase log; this is a county-wide gap, not specific to EV charger permits.
  • Property within Price City limits still needs a separate city zoning sign-off from Price City's own Planning & Zoning office (435-636-3184) before or alongside the county electrical permit.

Price, Utah has adopted: GOVERNING LAW: Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (le.utah.gov/xcode/Title15A/Chapter2/15A-2-S103.html), version effective 7/1/2026 (amended by Ch. 47, 2026 General Session), sets the statewide-mandatory construction code suite — Utah Code § 15A-1-204 binds 'the state and each political subdivision,' which includes Carbon County as the compliance agency serving Price City (Price has no independent building-permit authority; see localAmendments). Carbon County's own Building Permits page ('What codes are enforced?' FAQ) still displays the pre-7/1/2026 edition list; re-checked live 2026-07-16, page text is byte-identical to the 2026-07-08 fetch ('2021 International Building Code, including Appendix J 2021 International Residential Code 2021-Appendix Q of 2021 IRC 2021 IPC, 2021 IMC, 2021 IFGC, 2020 NEC'). State law governs regardless of the page's lag; each line below states current law first, then the county's as-published (stale or omitted) text.; 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendix J — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a), effective 7/1/2026. Carbon County's Building Permits FAQ still lists '2021 International Building Code, including Appendix J' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC), including Appendix Q — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b)/(c); this edition did NOT change in the 7/1/2026 flip. Matches Carbon County's FAQ, which lists '2021 International Residential Code, 2021-Appendix Q of 2021 IRC' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d), effective 7/1/2026. Carbon County's FAQ still lists '2021 IPC' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e), effective 7/1/2026. Carbon County's FAQ still lists '2021 IMC' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f), effective 7/1/2026. Carbon County's FAQ still lists '2021 IFGC' (live re-check 2026-07-16).; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); this edition did NOT change in the 7/1/2026 flip. Carbon County's FAQ still lists '2020 NEC' (live re-check 2026-07-16) — this is a PRE-EXISTING discrepancy that predates and is unrelated to the 2026-07-01 code-cycle flip (the 2023 NEC has been state law since before this project's original 2026-07-08 review); reported here as-published rather than corrected.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), one statewide edition (no residential/commercial split) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h), effective 7/1/2026. Not mentioned anywhere on Carbon County's Building Permits FAQ, Building Department page, or Building Information/Resources page as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added here as a statute-sourced omission (applies statewide regardless of county publication), not fabricated.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i), effective 7/1/2026. Not mentioned on any Carbon County page reviewed as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added as a statute-sourced omission.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n), effective 7/1/2026. Not mentioned on any Carbon County page reviewed as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added as a statute-sourced omission.; Modular Building Institute (MBI) Standards 1200 and 1205 — per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(o), statewide-mandated for modular units. Not mentioned on any Carbon County page reviewed as of live re-check 2026-07-16; added as a statute-sourced omission.; No International Fire Code (IFC) entry: § 15A-2-103 does not adopt the IFC — it is separately governed under Title 15A Chapter 5, outside the scope of this section. Carbon County's FAQ does not list an IFC edition either, so there is no mis-citation to correct here.. Local amendments apply — see the Price overview page for the full list.
