Farmington Hills, MI Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

" Where a property does set one aside, § 30-791 requires a city-approved sign designating the space for the exclusive use of electric vehicles (as defined in the city's Zoning Ordinance), mounted on a post or wall facing the approaching driver. The sign must sit two to eight feet from the face of curb, or from the edge of pavement if there is no curb, with the bottom of the sign between six feet three inches and seven feet above the ground; that minimum height drops to four feet for wall-mounted signs and for post-mounted signs outside pedestrian-traffic areas.

The city's department of public services must approve the sign's size and copy before it goes up. Under § 30-792 the property owner is responsible for maintaining, repairing or replacing the space and sign as needed to keep the space clearly identified and accessible, and the code specifically calls out keeping the space free of snow, refuse and debris as part of that duty. Enforcement runs through § 30-793: any city police officer or code enforcement officer can issue a ticket for a violation, and each day a violation continues counts as a separate offense.
