Summary
Unincorporated Yuba County runs an expedited permit track for electric vehicle charging stations under Chapter 10.12, with fixed review and approval deadlines for residential, agricultural, and commercial installations.
The purpose of this Chapter is to create an expedited, streamlined permitting process to achieve timely and cost-effective installation of electric vehicle charging stations, hereinafter referred to as "EVC Stations". This Chapter encourages the installation and use of EVC Stations by removing potential obstacles to, and minimizing the cost of permitting for charging stations, and by expanding the ability of residential, agricultural, and commercial property owners to install EVC Stations. This Chapter allows the County to achieve these goals while protecting the public health and safety.

Full Breakdown
Chapter 10.12, adopted under Government Code §§ 65850.7 and 65850.71 (AB 1236/AB 970), requires the Building Department to fast-track EVC Station permits. Applications for 1-25 charging connections must be deemed complete within five business days and approved within 20 business days; projects with more than 25 connections get 10 and 40 business days respectively. The Building Official can only push an application into standard discretionary review with written findings of a specific, unmitigable adverse impact to public health or safety, appealable to the Planning Commission. Applies only in the unincorporated area; Marysville and Wheatland run their own permitting.
Violations & Fines
This chapter sets permitting deadlines, not fines. An application can lose its expedited track only after written findings of a specific, unmitigable adverse impact to public health or safety, which shifts it into a discretionary use-permit process instead.
