Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station / EVSE Permit in Unincorporated Teton County, Wyoming

Unincorporated Teton County has no distinct EV charger/EVSE permit application or fee line. Like all other electrical work in the county, EV charging equipment installation is permitted, plan-reviewed (where applicable), and inspected by the Electrical Division of the Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Department — a jointly-funded Town of Jackson / Teton County fire district — not the County Building Division and not the Wyoming State Fire Marshal's statewide program. This mirrors the county's Solar PV/Energy Storage System permit, which is also processed as an electrical permit through Jackson Hole Fire/EMS. Governed by the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC), which includes Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) provisions for EVSE circuits and disconnects.

When you need this permit

  • No standalone EV charger/EVSE permit application exists; apply directly with Jackson Hole Fire/EMS's Electrical Division using the standard Electrical Permit Application
  • Governed by the 2023 NEC (County Building Codes Resolution Section 101.4.8), which includes Article 625 (Electric Vehicle Power Transfer System) requirements
  • Electrical permit fee is based on the bid submitted for the electrical work to be performed (Jackson Hole Fire/EMS fee methodology), not a flat EV-specific fee
  • Electrical plan review is mandatory for industrial/commercial installations and residential services over 400 amps; standard residential EVSE circuit additions below that threshold do not require plan review
  • Contact Jackson Hole Fire/EMS Electrical Division directly (307-733-4732 or 307-732-8689) to confirm current requirements and fees, since these are not published in the County's own Planning & Building fee schedule

Tips

  • There is no dedicated EV charger permit category — apply through Jackson Hole Fire/EMS's standard Electrical Permit process, the same office that handles the county's Solar PV/Energy Storage System permits.
  • Do not assume electrical inspections can be scheduled via the County SmartGov portal — Jackson Hole Fire/EMS must be contacted directly even though an option may appear to exist online.
