EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Farr West, Utah

Farr West City does not publish a separate EV-charger/EVSE permit or fee. The city's official Building Permit Fees page lists building-permit fees based on square footage/valuation, plus a 50% plan check fee, sewer/storm water/park/fire impact fees, a garbage can fee, and a state fee — with no distinct Electrical, Mechanical, or Plumbing sub-fee and no EV-specific line item. EV charger installation is therefore handled as standard electrical work under this same valuation-based Building Permit; no EV-specific dollar figure is asserted here.
