Adams County provides public EV charging stations at county facilities and reviews commercial charger installations through a Commercial EV Charger Submittal Checklist. The county sets no dedicated residential EV-charging quota; a home charger is installed under building and electrical permits following the Colorado-adopted electrical code. Inside cities, that city's building
Adams County has installed public EV charging stations at county buildings through its Sustainability program and offers a Commercial EV Charger Submittal Checklist for developers adding chargers to commercial and multifamily sites, which are reviewed under the Development Standards' parking provisions. For homes in the unincorporated county, there is no separate EV-charging ordinance or minimum-station requirement; a hardwired Level 2 (240V) charger is a building/electrical matter handled through Community & Economic Development building permits under the electrical code Colorado has adopted. For a definitive answer, contact Adams County at 720.523.6800, or your city's building department if you live inside a municipality.
Installing a charger without the required electrical or building permit can result in permit-enforcement action and re-inspection through Community & Economic Development.
