EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Riverdale, Utah

Riverdale City's Building and Sign Permit Fee Schedule prices every building/electrical permit purely by construction valuation (a single lookup table from $1 up, plus $6.75/$5.70/$4.40 per additional $1,000 at higher tiers, plus a 65% Plan Check Fee and a 1% State of Utah Fee). There is no distinct "EV Charger," "EVSE," or even a separate general "Electrical Permit" line item anywhere in the schedule — all trade work, including EV charger/EVSE installation, is billed through this single valuation-based table.

Tips

  • Riverdale has no separate Electrical Permit or EV Charger fee category — the general valuation-based Building and Sign Permit Fee Schedule applies to every trade, including EVSE installation.
  • Estimate the installed cost of the charger and any panel/service work before applying, since the fee is calculated directly from that valuation.

Utah Code § 15A-2-103 (version effective 7/1/2026, superseded 1/1/2027) does NOT adopt a 2024 IRC or a 2024 NEC — the statute keeps the IRC at 2021 (§(1)(b), unchanged) and the NEC at 2023 (§(1)(g), unchanged). Riverdale's own page is incorrect on these two codes (the IBC/IMC/IPC/IFGC/IECC entries at 2024 are all correct and consistent with the statute). The statute governs; the City's page text is quoted above as the recorded conflict.. Local amendments apply — see the Riverdale overview page for the full list.
