EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Clearfield, Utah

Clearfield City does not publish a distinct "EV Charger" or "EVSE" fee line item. Its current Consolidated Fee Schedule (adopted 6/25/2025) does not include a separate electrical trade-permit fee table at all — electrical work, including EV charger installations, is assessed under the same project-valuation table used for the general building permit. A full-text search of the current fee schedule found no mention of "EV," "EVSE," "electric vehicle," or "charging station."
