EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Park City, Utah

Park City has no distinct, codified EV charger/EVSE permit type or fee line item — EV charger installation is electrical work billed under the city's standard Electrical Permit (1.32% of construction valuation, plus 1% state surcharge), per the Park City Fee Schedule effective October 20, 2025. Park City's Environmental Sustainability office has separately advertised (via an archived 'Electric Vehicle Charger Incentives' outreach page) that building permit fees for EV charging equipment are waived, but this waiver is NOT reflected in the currently effective codified Fee Schedule, which only excludes on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water) from the building-permit valuation base — not EV chargers. This is a genuine, unresolved discrepancy between city outreach messaging and the codified fee schedule.

Fee schedule

Electrical Permit Fee (codified — applies absent a confirmed waiver)Park City Fee Schedule (effective October 20, 2025) § 1.2.5 'Electrical Permit.' No distinct EV-charger fee line item is codified; § 1.2.2's Building Permit Total Valuation exclusion applies only to on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water), not EV charging equipment.
1.32% of the total valuation of construction, plus 1% state surcharge
Advertised EV Charger Fee Waiver (uncodified — status unconfirmed)Park City's Environmental Sustainability office publicly advertised (archived 'Electric Vehicle Charger Incentives' page) that building permit fees for EV charging equipment are waived. This is not reflected in the current codified Fee Schedule and may be discretionary or no longer active — confirm directly with the Building Department (435-615-5101) or Environmental Sustainability office (435-615-5193, celia.peterson@parkcity.org) before assuming a waiver applies.

Tips

  • Before applying, ask the Environmental Sustainability office (435-615-5193, celia.peterson@parkcity.org) whether an EV-charger permit-fee waiver is currently being honored — the program was publicly advertised on the city's sustainability pages but is not written into the codified Fee Schedule, so it may be discretionary or no longer active.
  • Absent a confirmed waiver, EV charger installation is billed as standard electrical work at 1.32% of construction valuation plus a 1% state surcharge, per § 1.2.5 of the Fee Schedule.
  • The codified valuation exclusion in § 1.2.2 covers on-site renewable energy systems (solar, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water) but does NOT name EV charging equipment — do not assume the exclusion extends to EV chargers without confirming with the Building Department.

Park City, Utah has adopted: 2024 International Building Code (IBC), including Appendices C and J, with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(a); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here. Park City's Building Department Forms, Codes & Resources page (live-checked 2026-07-16) states 'All codes to include Utah Amendments' and links to the State of Utah's code list rather than publishing a separate locally-itemized edition, consistent with the statewide adoption model used by other Utah jurisdictions in this corpus (e.g., Murray, Coalville).; 2021 International Residential Code (IRC) with Utah amendments — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(b) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide transition.; Appendix AQ of the 2021 IRC — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(c); not separately itemized on Park City's own Forms, Codes & Resources page, added here per statute.; 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC) with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(d); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC) with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(e); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(f); not itemized on Park City's own Forms, Codes & Resources page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; 2024 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), single unsplit statewide edition, with Utah amendments — CURRENT statewide as of 7/1/2026 per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(h); supersedes the 2021 edition previously listed here.; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — REMAINS CURRENT; Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(g) did not change this edition in the 7/1/2026 statewide transition.; 2024 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(i); not itemized on Park City's own Forms, Codes & Resources page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; Residential provisions of the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC) — statewide per Utah Code § 15A-2-103(1)(n); not itemized on Park City's own Forms, Codes & Resources page, added here per statute since the City's own materials omit it.; International Wildland-Urban Interface Code (IWUIC), 2006 edition with State of Utah amendments, further amended and locally adopted by Park City in June 2020 — codified at Park City Municipal Code Sec. 11-21-1. Genuine local amendment: compliance is a required part of the building permit plan review process for applicable properties, per the city's official Wildland Urban Interface Code FAQ page. NOTE: the IWUIC is adopted under Utah Code § 15A-2-103(2), a distinct provision from the Subsection (1) code list above that allows local compliance agencies to adopt the 2006 IWUIC by local ordinance as a local amendment — it is unaffected by the Subsection (1) edition transition on 7/1/2026 and was not touched by this re-verification.; NOTE (2026-07-16 re-verification): Utah Code § 15A-2-103, version effective 7/1/2026 (superseded 1/1/2027), took effect 15 days before this re-verification. IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/IEBC/residential ISPSC are now 2024 statewide; IRC (2021) and NEC (2023) did NOT change. Park City's Forms, Codes & Resources page (parkcity.org/services/building/forms/index.php) was live-checked 2026-07-16 and does not itemize specific code edition years at all — it states generically 'All codes to include Utah Amendments' and links to the state code, so no page-vs-statute lag could be detected; the statute is cited directly as governing throughout. Park City's substantial resort-town local amendments (WUI Code, Land Management Code Title 15, Fee Schedule) are unaffected and left untouched.. Local amendments apply — see the Park City overview page for the full list.

Park City's Environmental Sustainability office has advertised (in outreach pages, including an archived 'Electric Vehicle Charger Incentives' page) that building permit fees for EV charging equipment are waived. This is not reflected in the currently effective codified Fee Schedule, which only excludes on-site renewable energy systems (solar PV, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water) from the building-permit valuation base — confirm current treatment with the Building Department or Environmental Sustainability office before assuming a fee waiver applies.
