Lee County's Land Development Code sets no county-specific rule for home EV chargers; installation follows the Florida Building Code and NEC electrical permitting through Lee County DCD. Public and multifamily charging is shaped by state law, and HOAs cannot unreasonably ban owner-installed chargers.
The Lee County LDC contains no dedicated residential electric-vehicle-charging ordinance. A home charger is treated as an electrical installation permitted under the Florida Building Code and National Electrical Code, obtained through the Lee County Department of Community Development. At the state level, Florida Statutes protect the right to install EV charging: condominium and homeowners-association law bars associations from prohibiting an owner from installing a charging station within their own limited common element or property, subject to reasonable conditions. Utility and public-charging policy is regulated by the Florida Public Service Commission and FDOT, not by county ordinance.
No county parking penalty; unpermitted electrical work is enforced through Lee County building/permit code enforcement.
