Flower Mound adopted updated EV charging station restrictions through Ordinance 30-25 amending the 2024 International Fire Code. Commercial and multi-family EV chargers must be on the ground floor of parking structures. Bollards or barriers are required to protect charging stations. Residential Level 2 home chargers require an electrical permit.
Flower Mound adopted Ordinance 30-25 with amendments to the 2024 International Fire Code that include a policy statement on electric vehicle charging stations. In commercial and multi-family residential buildings, EV chargers must be located on the ground floor of parking lots and structures to mitigate structural risks and improve firefighter access in the event of a lithium-ion battery fire. Bollards or physical barriers are required around charging stations to prevent vehicle collisions. Fire Marshal Jason Bolejack served on a statewide task force addressing lithium-ion battery fire safety risks. For single-family residential properties, Level 2 (240-volt) charger installation requires an electrical permit from Building Inspections at (972) 874-6355. Standard 120-volt Level 1 charging from an existing outlet does not require a permit. The town does not currently mandate EV-ready infrastructure in new residential construction, though developers may include it voluntarily. TX Occ. Code Ch. 2157 governs electrician licensing requirements for charger installation statewide.
Installation without required permit: failed inspection, possible removal order. Commercial installations violating ground-floor requirement: correction notice and fines up to $500 per day.
