EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Farmington, Utah

Farmington City does not publish a separate EV-charger/EVSE permit or fee. The city's Consolidated Fee Schedule (adopted 2026-05-19), Section C ('Building Permit Application & Related Fees'), prices building-permit work via Table No. 1-A, a valuation-based schedule derived from the 1997 Uniform Building Code, with no distinct Electrical, Mechanical, or Plumbing sub-fee and no EV-specific line item found. EV charger installation is therefore handled as standard electrical work under this same valuation-based Building Permit; no EV-specific dollar figure is asserted here.

July 1, 2024) still reference 2021 editions for IBC/IEBC and had not been updated to reflect the 7/1/2026 transition as of this re-verification; this file now states the governing statutory code (2024 editions) as current per Utah's statewide-mandatory code regime (Utah Code § 15A-1-204), with the City's un-updated 2021 references preserved above as historical/local-document context.
