EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Unincorporated Wayne County, Utah

Wayne County does not publish a distinct EV charger / EVSE permit type, fee, or checklist anywhere on its site (checked 2026-07-19, re-checked 2026-07-20). EV charger (EVSE) installation is treated as standard electrical work under the county's single, unified 'Application for Building Permit and/or Certificate of Occupancy' form — the same form and single county-wide Building Inspector (Eric Torgerson) used for all other permit types in this file. The form's only electrical-related categories are the 'Electrician' trade-contractor line and the 'Rough Electrical'/'Electrical Final' inspection items; no separate electrical or EV-specific permit category exists. As with every other permit type in this file, Wayne County has not published a dollar fee schedule — the Building Permit Application form's Rate/Permit Fee/Plan Review Fee fields are left blank and completed by county staff at intake.
