Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger / EVSE Permit in Cheyenne, Wyoming

Cheyenne has no standalone EV charger or EVSE permit type or fee line -- the City's own Compliance Department (Building Safety Division) electrical-permit process explicitly names 'EVSE' as one of the categories of electrical work requiring a permit (Cheyenne Municipal Code Chapter 15.20, National Electrical Code Adopted; 2023 NEC current edition), and it is billed under the City's single unified valuation-based Building and Construction Permit Fee table (Ordinance 4254) rather than a separate EV-specific fee schedule.

Tips

  • Cheyenne's own Municipal Code framework treats EVSE installation as ordinary electrical work -- no separate EV-specific application, checklist, or fee exists, so apply through the standard Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical Permit Application.
  • Because Cheyenne runs its own home-rule electrical program (unlike most other Wyoming jurisdictions, which default to the State Fire Marshal's Office), confirm licensing with the City's Compliance Department directly rather than the state program.
