Electrical Permit in Midvale, Utah

Required for standalone electrical work in Midvale not covered under a residential building permit, including electrical service charges and panel work billed as an over-the-counter permit. EV charger/EVSE installation is electrical work and falls under this general Electrical Permit; the Midvale FY2026 Fee Schedule does not publish an EV-specific line item, so a charger install is billed under the standard Service Charge (over-the-counter) or Electrical Fee category depending on scope.

    Tips

    • Service-charge electrical work (panel/service changes) is billed as an over-the-counter permit at $47 + $0.47 surcharge, separate from full building-permit-based electrical fees.
    • All electrical work must comply with the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) adopted statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g).
    • EV charger (EVSE) installation is not a separate permit category in Midvale — a standalone panel/circuit install for a charger is billed as the $47 + $0.47 surcharge Service Charge over-the-counter permit.
