EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Unincorporated Garfield County, Utah

The county's Building Department Fees schedule prices work through a valuation-based Total Building Permit Valuation table plus itemized categories (stem walls, decks, garages, sheds, solar, signs, etc.); the only catch-all category that could apply to a minor scope with no specific line item is 'Inspections with No Specific Fee — $60.00 per hour.'

Tips

  • Garfield County's fee schedule has no line item naming EV chargers, EVSE, or charging stations — a full-text review (checked 2026-07-20) of the Building Department Fees schedule found no matches. The closest applicable published rate for a minor standalone scope is the $60.00/hour 'Inspections with No Specific Fee' catch-all.
  • Confirm with the Garfield County Building Department whether a standalone EV charger circuit is billed hourly under the no-specific-fee catch-all or under the general valuation-based Total Building Permit Valuation table before applying.
