Santa Rosa County has no dedicated EV-charging zoning ordinance. Installing a home charger follows the Florida Building Code and requires an electrical permit through the county Building Inspections Department. Florida law (FS 366.94) governs public charging stations statewide.
The county's Land Development Code does not set a separate EV-charging-station standard, minimum charger count, or parking-space carve-out for the unincorporated area. A residential Level 2 charger is treated as an electrical improvement: it needs an electrical permit and must comply with the Florida Building Code and National Electrical Code, inspected by county Building Inspections. Commercial or multifamily charging installations follow the same building-permit path plus applicable parking-lot design standards in LDC § 4.06.00. Statewide, FS 366.94 directs the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to regulate electric-vehicle charging-station standards. Always confirm current requirements with the county Building Department before installing.
Installing a charger without an electrical permit is a building-code violation cited by county Building Inspections; work may be red-tagged until permitted and inspected.
