EV Charger / EVSE Permit in North Salt Lake, Utah
North Salt Lake has no distinct EV charger/EVSE permit type or fee line item — installing electric vehicle charging equipment is electrical work billed under the city's single integrated Building Permit fee (per most recent ICC Building Valuation Data), the same valuation-based schedule used for all construction-related permit types in North Salt Lake (residential, roofing/mechanical/plumbing, commercial, tenant improvement, solar, etc. — there is no separate 'Electrical Permit' type in the city's own permit catalog). A direct review of the city's current Comprehensive Fee Schedule (Resolution 2026-24R, effective July 1, 2026) found no 'EV,' 'electric vehicle,' or 'EVSE' line item anywhere in the document's Section 4 'Construction Related' fees.

Tips
- North Salt Lake does not have a separate 'Electrical Permit' permit type at all — it uses one integrated, ICC-valuation-based Building Permit fee that covers building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work (including EV charger installation).
- A Plan Check Deposit of $500 (residential) is due at application per the fee schedule's 'Plan Check Deposit' line, though most single-charger EV installs would likely fall under a minimal valuation.
- Confirm current treatment with the Building Department (801-335-8720 / permits@nslcity.org) before applying, since no dollar-figure minimum fee specific to small electrical scopes like EV chargers was found published.

North Salt Lake, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); North Salt Lake's Adopted Model Codes page (nslcity.org/113/Adopted-Model-Codes) was live-checked 2026-07-16 and STILL lists '2021 International Building Code' — city page lags the statute; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment. Adopted Model Codes page (live-checked 2026-07-16) correctly lists '2021 International Residential Code'; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not separately itemized on North Salt Lake's Adopted Model Codes page, added here per statute; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); Adopted Model Codes page live-checked 2026-07-16 STILL lists '2021 International Mechanical Code' — city page lags the statute; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); Adopted Model Codes page live-checked 2026-07-16 STILL lists '2021 International Plumbing Code' — city page lags the statute; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); Adopted Model Codes page live-checked 2026-07-16 STILL lists '2021 International Fuel Gas Code' — city page lags the statute; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); Adopted Model Codes page live-checked 2026-07-16 STILL lists '2021 Energy Conservation Code' — city page lags the statute; 2021 International Fire Code (IFC) — Adopted Model Codes page (live-checked 2026-07-16, still lists 2021). NOTE: the IFC is NOT among the codes adopted by Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (which governs Title 15A Chapter 2, State Construction Code) — Utah's Fire Code is separately adopted under Title 15A Chapter 5, State Fire Code Act; left as published by the City, no statutory edition change applies via § 15A-2-103; 2021 International Property Maintenance Code — Adopted Model Codes page (live-checked 2026-07-16, still lists 2021). NOTE: the IPMC is NOT among the codes adopted by Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (property-maintenance code, not a construction code), so no statewide edition change applies here — left as published by the City; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not listed at all on North Salt Lake's Adopted Model Codes page (live-checked 2026-07-16), added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it entirely; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not listed at all on North Salt Lake's Adopted Model Codes page (live-checked 2026-07-16), added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it entirely; 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) as published by North Salt Lake — Adopted Model Codes page (live-checked 2026-07-16, still lists '2020 National Electrical Code'). This is INCORRECT and out of date independent of the 7/1/2026 transition: Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) requires the 2023 NEC statewide, and that subsection was NOT changed by the 7/1/2026 amendment (2023 NEC has been the statutory baseline since before this re-verification, matching the 2023 edition used by neighboring Davis County cities such as Kaysville). The statutorily-governing edition is 2023 NEC, not the 2020 edition North Salt Lake's own page displays — confirm with the Building Department at (801) 335-8721 before relying on the city page for NEC edition; 2017 ICC/ANSI A117.1 Standard for Accessibility — Adopted Model Codes page; not part of Utah Code § 15A-2-103's construction-code list, left unchanged; 1997 Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings — Adopted Model Codes page; not part of Utah Code § 15A-2-103's construction-code list, left unchanged; Utah state amendments to adopted codes (Utah Admin. Code R156-56) — referenced directly on the Adopted Model Codes page; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) did NOT change. North Salt Lake's Adopted Model Codes page (nslcity.org/113/Adopted-Model-Codes) was live-checked 2026-07-16 and STILL lists 2021 editions across IBC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/IECC/IFC/IPMC (confirmed via raw HTML, not an AI summary) — the city page has NOT been updated to reflect the statutory transition. Separately, the city's page also shows 2020 NEC, which was already non-compliant with the (unchanged) 2023 NEC statutory requirement before this transition. This file now states the governing statutory codes (2024/2021/2023 editions per subsection) as current per Utah's statewide-mandatory code regime (Utah Code § 15A-1-204), while preserving the City's own (lagging) page text above as historical/local-document context. The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 citation in the sources array below has been updated to the current in-force version link. Local amendments apply — see the North Salt Lake overview page for the full list.
