EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Unincorporated Sanpete County, Utah

Sanpete County does not publish a distinct EV charger / EVSE fee line item. The county's Building Department page and the December 5, 2023 County Commission minutes adopting the current ICC-valuation-based Building Permit Fee Calculator (re-checked 2026-07-20) contain no 'EV,' 'electric vehicle,' or 'charging station' entry. Because Sanpete County calculates all building permit fees from the ICC Building Valuation Data table run through the county's Uniform Fee Schedule — rather than itemized per-trade line items the way some Utah cities (e.g. Murray) do — installing an EV charger / EVSE is billed as ordinary electrical work under the same general Building Permit / valuation-based fee mechanism used for all other permit types in this file. No standalone Electrical Permit type is published separately from the general Building Permit for this county either, consistent with that same non-itemized methodology.

Fee schedule

Building Permit FeeSanpete County Building Department page and December 5, 2023 County Commission Minutes (Book U, pp. 278-280), re-checked 2026-07-20: no distinct EV charger / EVSE fee line item exists anywhere in the county's published fee materials. The county's Commission-adopted fee schedule is valuation-based (ICC Building Valuation Data with the same 1.5x unincorporated-county-factor multiplier documented elsewhere in this file) with no permit-type carve-outs discussed in the minutes, so this general Building Permit fee mechanism is what governs an EV charger installation. The exact current per-square-foot/valuation table lives inside the county's CityInspect online permit portal (requires a registered account), not as a standalone published document.

Tips

  • Sanpete County does not itemize fees by trade (electrical, plumbing, mechanical) the way some Utah cities do — everything, including EV charger installations, is priced off the same ICC Building Valuation Data table via the county's CityInspect portal fee calculator.
  • Confirm the specific fee for your EV charger installation directly with the Building Department at (435) 835-2113 or through the CityInspect portal, since no public per-project rate table exists online.
  • Properties inside an incorporated city's limits still need that city's zoning approval first; the County Building Department issues the underlying permit either way.
