Tips

  • Murray prices EV chargers as their own fee category ($300 base + $20 per additional unit), separate from the $100 flat Electrical/Service Upgrade fee — do not file an EV charger install under the general electrical fee category.
  • If the charger installation requires a panel or service upgrade, also complete the Murray City Electrical Permit Questionnaire and, within the Murray Power service area, the Murray City Power Request for Electrical Service Information form.
  • Commercial EV charger installations pay an additional 65% Plan Review Fee on top of the base $300 + $20/unit fee; residential installations do not.

Frequently asked questions

Per the Murray City Building Permit Fees table (effective July 1, 2026), EV Chargers have their own fee category: $300 plus $20 for each additional charger for residential, and the same base fee plus a 65% Plan Review Fee for commercial installations — distinct from the $100 flat Electrical/Service Upgrade fee.

NOTE: Murray's own city notice does not separately enumerate the IFGC (it lists IBC, IPC, IMC, IEBC, IECC, and NEC only) — this entry is sourced directly from the statute, which applies statewide regardless of whether a given city's own notice names it.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — per Murray's Notice of Building Code Adoption (effective July 1, 2026); Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); superseded the 2021 IEBC that had been in effect since July 1, 2023; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), as amended by the State of Utah — per Murray's Notice of Building Code Adoption (effective July 1, 2026); Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); superseded the 2021 IECC that had been in effect since July 1, 2023; 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC), residential provisions — Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); effective 2026-07-01, superseded the 2021 edition. NOTE: Murray's own city notice does not separately enumerate the ISPSC — this entry is sourced directly from the statute, which applies statewide regardless of whether a given city's own notice names it.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — per Murray City Building Division page, adopted and unchanged by the July 1, 2026 update; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g); NOTE (verified 2026-07-16): Confirmed directly against Murray's own live 'Notice of Building Code Adoption' banner (murray.utah.gov/167/Building-Division, effective date July 1, 2026), which lists the 2024 IBC, IPC, IMC, IEBC, and IECC (Utah-amended), the 2023 NEC, and states the IRC 'will remain 2021.' Also confirmed directly against Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027) at le.utah.gov. CAUTION: the same Murray page also retains an older, unremoved 'Overview' paragraph further down stating 'As of July 1st 2023, the state of Utah has adopted the 2021 I Codes and the 2023 NEC' — that leftover sentence is stale and contradicts the page's own current banner; see tipsAndGotchas for this discrepancy.. Local amendments apply — see the Murray overview page for the full list.
