EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Morgan County, Utah

Morgan County does not publish a distinct EV charger, EVSE, or electric vehicle charging station permit or fee. EV charger/EVSE installation is electrical work and falls under the county's general Electrical Permit, administered by Morgan County Planning and Development Services (covering both unincorporated county land and Morgan City). The Morgan County Building Permit Fees and Worksheet (Rev 9-2021) does not publish a separate EV-specific fee line item; the flat $100.00 Electrical Permit fee applies.

Tips

  • Morgan County has no separate EV-charger permit — EV charger (EVSE) installations are treated as standard electrical work under the flat $100 Electrical Permit.
  • Morgan County Planning and Development Services issues electrical permits for the entire county, including Morgan City — there is no separate city electrical inspector.
  • Call 801-845-4015 to confirm whether a specific EV charger installation qualifies for a reduced-scope Utility Permit ($100 + 1% State Fee) instead of a full building/electrical permit.
