EV Charger / EVSE Permit in Unincorporated Laramie County, Wyoming

Laramie County does not publish a distinct EV charger/EVSE fee line. Installing electric vehicle charging equipment (Level 2 or DC fast charging) requires a standalone Electrical (Counter) Permit, or an electrical trade permit combined with a building permit for new commercial charging installations, governed by the county-adopted 2023 National Electrical Code (which includes Article 625, Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System). Per the county's own fee schedule and Building/Plan Review Fee documents, this Counter electrical work is charged under the same general valuation-based Building Permit Fee / Plan Review Fee schedule used for all standalone electrical work in unincorporated Laramie County — there is no dedicated flat EV-charger fee line.
