EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Unincorporated Wasatch County, Utah

Wasatch County does not publish a distinct EV charger / EVSE permit type or fee line item. EV charger (EVSE) installation is treated as standard electrical work under the same general Building Permit process used for all other permit types — the county's official Building Permit FAQ (wasatchcounty.gov/215/Frequently-Asked-Questions, live-checked 2026-07-19, re-checked 2026-07-20) itemizes 'Other Fees' (Temporary Power $75.00, Solid Waste SSD Garbage Fee, Fire/Water/Sewer/Power district fees) with no separate electrical trade-permit line and no EV-charger or electric-vehicle-charging line item anywhere on the page. Because Wasatch County does not publish a distinct standalone Electrical Permit fee line either (unlike Murray or several other Utah cities in this corpus), an EV charger installation is billed under the same general per-square-foot Building Department fee mechanism documented for this jurisdiction's residential-building-permit entry.

  • The Plan Review Fee (65% of the Building Department fee) is invoiced by email after submittal, not collected at time of application — online payment only.
