Lima has no dedicated ordinance regulating residential EV charging; installing a home charger follows Ohio's electrical code via the Building Department permit. Public charging stalls are governed by posted signs and Chapter 452 parking rules.
Lima's Codified Ordinances do not include a stand-alone electric-vehicle-charging chapter. A home Level 2 charger is a residential electrical installation requiring an electrical permit and inspection through the City of Lima Building Department under the adopted state electrical/residential codes. On-street or lot EV stalls are enforced like any other posted parking under Chapter 452 (Parking Generally) and, where metered, Chapter 454. There is no city rule reserving public curb space for EV charging beyond posted signage. Homeowners should confirm panel capacity and pull the required electrical permit before installing a charger.
Installing a charger without the required electrical permit can trigger stop-work or correction notices; misusing a posted EV stall is a parking violation under Chapter 452.
