EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Richfield, Utah

Richfield City has not published a fee schedule, distinct EV charger line item, or general electrical permit fee amount anywhere on its official website, forms/applications page, FAQ page, or its 2021 Plan Review and Building Inspection Services RFP. Electrical work, including EV charger installation, still requires a permit from the Richfield City Building Department, but the applicable fee could not be located from a primary source after a real search — it is not on the Forms & Applications page, the FAQ page, or in any publicly posted fee resolution.

Tips

  • Richfield does not publish a fee schedule online for electrical or EV charger permits — call the Building and Zoning Department (435-896-6439) before applying to confirm the current fee.
  • Permits are submitted through the city's CityInspect online portal referenced on the Forms & Applications page.
  • Closed 2026-07-23: a residential EV charger install uses the same 14-business-day statutory plan-review floor (Utah Code § 10-20-909) as the Residential Building Permit and Solar PV Permit entries in this record, since all three route through the same general Building Permit trigger per Richfield's official FAQ; a commercial EV charger install instead uses the city's 10-business-day commercial plan-review commitment (2021 Plan Review and Building Inspection Services RFP).

Richfield, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026 under the Utah Uniform Building Standard Act (Utah Code Title 15A); Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a). Richfield, as a Utah municipality, is bound to the statewide State Construction Code per Utah Code § 15A-2-103 and does not separately codify its own edition (its own FAQ/Forms pages, live-checked 2026-07-16, do not state any code edition at all); 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) — REMAINS CURRENT statewide code; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment (consistent with the same statewide code confirmed on Murray City's official Building Division page, though Murray's own page has separately been found to contradict itself elsewhere — not relied on here beyond the general statewide-cycle confirmation); Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); Richfield does not separately itemize this, added here per statute; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); not itemized in Richfield's own materials (which cite only the statewide statute generally), added here per statute since this record had previously omitted it entirely; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) with Utah amendments, single unsplit statewide edition — CURRENT statewide code as of 7/1/2026; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized in Richfield's own materials, added here per statute since this record had previously omitted it entirely; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — current statewide electrical code; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did NOT change this edition in the 7/1/2026 amendment; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): The Utah Code § 15A-2-103 version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027) took effect 15 days before this re-verification. This entry previously described the 2024-cycle codes in future tense ('takes effect July 1, 2026'); that date has now passed, so IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now stated as CURRENT (2024/2024/2024/2024/2024/2024/2024), while IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) remain unchanged and were already correctly stated. Richfield publishes no city-specific code-edition page (its FAQ and Forms & Applications pages, live-checked 2026-07-16, do not mention code editions at all), so this record continues to rely solely on the statewide statute rather than a lagging city page — there is no city-page conflict to record for Richfield.. Local amendments apply — see the Richfield overview page for the full list.
