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

The Town of Jackson has no dedicated EV charger/EVSE fee line or standalone permit category — EV charger (Level 2 or DC fast charging equipment) circuit installation is electrical work reviewed by the Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Department's Electrical Division and billed under the same valuation-based Electrical Permit fee table (Resolution 25-18 Appendix A) used for any other electrical work. The Town itself owns and operates 10 Level 2 and 2 DC fast public charging stations and is expanding this network (RFP for additional EV Charging and Fueling Infrastructure), and Teton County is separately deploying EV charging at County facilities — but these are municipal capital projects, not evidence of a distinct private-installation permit fee or process. No EV-specific fee, expedited review track, or dedicated application was found on the Town's Electrical Permit page, the Teton County Electrical Permits/Inspections/Reviews page, or in Resolution 25-18 Appendix A.

When you need this permit

  • Electrical permit required before EV charger/EVSE installation begins; no inspection can be scheduled without a permit
  • Work must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor holding a valid State of Wyoming license, plus a Town of Jackson business license if the company works within Town limits
  • Homeowner exemption applies for a homeowner wiring their own occupied residence (but NOT an Accessory Residential Unit), consistent with the Town's general electrical permit homeowner exemption Owner-builder
  • Electrical plan review is required if the installation involves a residential service over 400 amps or any commercial/industrial installation — thresholds that could be triggered by a higher-capacity EV charging installation (e.g., multiple DC fast chargers or a fleet charging depot)
  • Permits obtained and inspections requested via the SmartGov portal (co-teton-wy.smartgovcommunity.com), shared with Teton County

Tips

  • Jackson does not price EV chargers separately from other electrical work — expect the same valuation-based Electrical Permit fee table used for any other electrical installation, not a flat EV-specific rate.
  • A high-capacity installation (e.g., a residential service upgrade over 400 amps, or any commercial DC fast-charging installation) will trigger the same electrical plan review requirement (65% of permit fee) that applies to Solar PV/battery Energy Storage System installations and other large commercial electrical work.
  • The Town's own public EV charging stations (10 Level 2, 2 DC fast, with more planned via an active RFP) are separate municipal capital projects and do not reflect a private-installer permit fee or process.
