Hillsborough County promotes EV charging under FL §163.08 and the 2022 County Sustainability Plan. Residential Level 2 chargers require electrical permit but no zoning review. Commercial properties with 20+ spaces encouraged to provide EV-ready infrastructure.
Level 2 (240V) home chargers require a simple electrical permit through Hillsborough Development Services, typically issued in 1-3 days for 100-200 dollars. No HOA may prohibit EV chargers in designated parking per FL §718.113(8) for condos. Single-family HOAs may still restrict exterior installations. TECO Energy offers EV rebates of up to 500 dollars for residential installation. Public charging expanding along I-4, I-75, and Westshore Business District. County permit fees waived through 2025 sustainability incentive for the first residential charger.
Unpermitted electrical work: 200 dollar fine plus retroactive permit fees. Failure to inspect: certificate of occupancy hold. No violation for installing charger itself.
