Arapahoe County Building Division issues electrical permits for Level 2 EV charger installations. Colorado HB 23-1233 prohibits HOAs from banning EV charging equipment. The county follows 2020 NEC and requires inspection for 240V circuits.
Level 2 (240V) EV charger installation in unincorporated Arapahoe County requires an electrical permit from the Building Division. Dedicated 40-60 amp circuit on a two-pole breaker with GFCI protection is required per NEC 625. Hardwired installations need a load calculation if the panel is at or near capacity. Level 1 (120V) plug-in charging uses standard outlets and requires no permit. The permit fee is typically $50-$125. Colorado HB 23-1233 prohibits HOAs from denying EV charging equipment installations by owners and from imposing rules that effectively ban charging. HOAs may require the owner to pay for installation, carry $1M liability insurance on the charger, and use licensed electricians. Condo and townhome owners have the right to install chargers on their deeded or exclusively-used parking space. Public DC fast chargers on commercial sites require site plan review and ADA-accessible placement.
Unpermitted installations trigger retroactive permit fees plus 2x investigation fees. HOA refusal to allow EV charging: homeowner may sue under CRS 38-33.3-106.8 for injunctive relief and attorney fees.
