EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Unincorporated Duchesne County, Utah

Duchesne County publishes no distinct EV charger / EVSE permit or fee, and no minor-work flat fee at all. The Department of Building Safety's Permit Packet (July 2023) prices every building permit purely by estimated construction cost valuation, with no published minimum fee or standalone electrical-only category — an EV charger installation would need to go through the same valuation-based Building Permit process as any other electrical work, with no smaller flat-fee alternative documented.

Tips

  • Duchesne County has no flat-fee or minor-work permit category at all — every building permit, including a standalone EV charger circuit, would be priced using the county's per-square-foot construction valuation table (published each August in the ICC Building Safety Journal), plus a 35%-65% plan review fee and 1% state surcharge, unless the Department of Building Safety confirms a smaller path exists.
  • Confirm directly with the Duchesne County Department of Building Safety, (435) 738-1135, whether a standalone EV charger circuit can be permitted at a reduced/minimum fee rather than the full valuation-based calculation, since no such minimum is published.

ADDED 2026-07-16: this code is not listed on Duchesne County's own permit materials, but it is adopted statewide by statute, so it applies here regardless of the county page's omission.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); statewide in force, unchanged by the July 1, 2026 revision; Utah State Amendment to IBC Section 1807 (Empirical Concrete Foundation Design, Table 1807.1.6.4) — Duchesne County Permit Packet, dated July 1, 2023; Utah Wildland Urban Interface Code — adopted under Utah Code § 15A-2-103; a Pre-site/WUI evaluation is a required inspection for new construction in Duchesne County; NOTE (verified 2026-07-16 against the live Utah Code § 15A-2-103 text, version headed 'Effective 7/1/2026 / Superseded 1/1/2027'): the 2024 editions of IBC, IPC, IMC, IFGC, IECC, and IEBC listed above took effect July 1, 2026, replacing the 2021 editions; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did not change. The 1/1/2027 version of the statute carries identical editions, so no further flip is expected then. This file previously forecast this change but still led with the 2021 editions as current — corrected on this date.. Local amendments apply — see the Unincorporated Duchesne County overview page for the full list.
