Clayton County has no special residential EV-charging ordinance. Home chargers are governed by Georgia's state minimum electrical and building codes and require a standard electrical permit and inspection.
Neither Clayton County nor its cities impose a distinct residential electric-vehicle-charging ordinance beyond ordinary construction rules. Installing a Level 2 home charger is regulated as electrical work under Georgia's state minimum standard codes (adopting the National Electrical Code), which the county Building/Permits division enforces through a standard electrical permit and inspection. Commercial and multifamily EV stations are handled through site-plan and building-permit review. Because the county sets no EV-specific residential rule, follow the state electrical code and pull a permit before installing a charger. Public charging availability is a utility/market matter, not a county ordinance.
Installing a charger without the required electrical permit or inspection is a code violation; the county can require permitting, correction, and re-inspection before energizing.
