Camarillo follows California's EV-friendly mandate under AB 1236 (Government Code Section 65850.7), requiring streamlined permitting for residential EV charging stations. CMC Title 16 governs electrical permits for charger installation. HOAs cannot unreasonably restrict EV charger installation under California Civil Code Section 4745.
Under California Government Code Section 65850.7 (AB 1236), Camarillo must provide streamlined, ministerial permitting for residential EV charging stations. An electrical permit under CMC Title 16 is required for Level 2 (240V) charger installation, but the city cannot impose unreasonable barriers. The permit process typically involves electrical plan review to ensure the home's electrical panel can support the charger. California Civil Code Section 4745 prevents HOAs from unreasonably restricting EV charger installation by homeowners, even in common areas for condo owners. HOAs may require the homeowner to maintain liability insurance and ensure professional installation but cannot deny the request outright. Level 1 charging (standard 120V outlet) generally requires no permit. Camarillo's Climate Action Plan and California's push toward zero-emission vehicles have led to increased EV infrastructure including public charging stations at locations like the Camarillo Premium Outlets.
Installing a Level 2 charger without an electrical permit violates CMC Title 16. HOAs that unreasonably deny EV charger requests violate California Civil Code 4745. Contact Community Development at (805) 388-5360 for permits.
