Citrus Heights implements streamlined EV charger permitting under AB 1236 (Gov Code §65850.7). Residential Level 2 charger permits must be processed within 1-3 business days using a checklist-only review. CALGreen requires EV-ready wiring in new construction.
Under California AB 1236 (2015), codified at Government Code §65850.7, cities must adopt ordinances creating an expedited, non-discretionary permitting process for residential EV charging stations. Citrus Heights complies with this mandate: Level 2 home chargers on existing single-family homes receive over-the-counter permits with plan-check completed within 1-3 business days. The permit uses a standardized checklist and cannot be subject to discretionary design review. CALGreen Building Code (Title 24, Part 11) requires new single-family homes to include EV-ready circuits and new multifamily/commercial projects to provide specified percentages of EV-capable, EV-ready, and EVCS-installed spaces. AB 970 (2021) set a 5-day residential and 20-day commercial review deadline for EV infrastructure permits. The Bay Area Air Quality district and PG&E offer EV rebates for Citrus Heights residents through SMUD territory programs.
