EV Charger / EVSE Permit (Electrical Simple Permit) in Sheridan, Wyoming

Sheridan requires an ev charger / evse permit (electrical simple permit) for: Electrical work must comply with the City's amended 2023 NEC (Ordinance No. 2290); Apply through the OpenGov Permit & Licensing Portal (sheridanwy.portal.opengov.com); A standalone EV charger circuit/service addition in an existing building is most consistent with the City's 'Electrical Service Upgrade' Simple Permit category (no dedicated EV-charger line item was found on the FY27 Master Fee Schedule); confirm the correct fee category with the Building Department before applying; If the EV charger is installed as part of new construction or a larger addition/remodel, it is instead covered under that project's Detailed Building Permit valuation-based fee, not a standalone Simple Permit; A separate service-upgrade coordination with Rocky Mountain Power (the local electric utility) may be required for higher-capacity commercial EV charger installations, independent of the City permit. If your project isn't listed, confirm with City of Sheridan Building Department at (307) 674-5941 before starting work.

No dedicated EV-charger/EVSE fee line was found on the City's FY27 Master Fee Schedule. The closest documented category is the $40.00 Electrical Service Upgrade Simple Permit, the only standalone electrical-specific flat fee the City publishes outside of work bundled into a larger Detailed Building Permit.
