Texas law protects homeowners' right to install EV charging stations in HOA communities, with reasonable conditions allowed.
Dallas County does not regulate electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at the unincorporated county level for single-family properties. Installations are governed by the Texas Electrical Code and applicable municipal codes where cities have jurisdiction. For HOA-governed neighborhoods across Dallas County, Texas Property Code Chapter 202, Section 202.023 (as expanded by Occupations Code framework) and related EV charging right-to-install provisions prohibit property owners' associations from enacting or enforcing restrictions that effectively ban a homeowner from installing a charging station on their property or an assigned parking space. HOAs may impose reasonable aesthetic, placement, and liability-insurance conditions but cannot unreasonably delay or prohibit installation. Charging stations must comply with manufacturer specs, NEC Article 625, and require a licensed electrician for permitted work. Condominium associations governed by TX Property Code Ch. 82 have similar obligations regarding limited common element parking.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Dallas County code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
