Duval County follows Florida Building Code for EV charging installations. Level 2 residential chargers require a standard electrical permit; public/commercial chargers follow FBC Chapter 27 and NEC Article 625. Jacksonville has no minimum EV-ready requirement for new construction.
EV charger installation in a single-family home requires an electrical permit from the Jacksonville Building Inspection Division. The permit is a standard electrical permit (typically $60-$120) covering the circuit, load calc, and GFCI compliance. Commercial DCFC/Level 2 stations follow NEC Article 625 and must comply with ADA accessibility (2 accessible spaces per 25 chargers per FL Accessibility Code). FL §366.94 reserves electric utility regulation to the state but does not preempt local permitting. Jacksonville has not adopted an EV-ready building code amendment, unlike some California jurisdictions.
Unpermitted EV installation: stop-work order plus 2x permit fee (typically $120-$240) and required inspection. No penalty for using a standard 120V outlet to trickle-charge.
