Logan, UT Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Logan regulates electric vehicle charging spaces inside its stopping, standing and parking rules, chapter 10.52 of the Logan Municipal Code. Subsection C of section 10.52.010 holds three rules. First, no person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle, other than an electric vehicle, within any space marked or signed as reserved for the charging of electric vehicles. Second, it is unlawful to park, or permit to be parked, any electric vehicle in a space with an electric vehicle charging station if the vehicle is not in the process of charging. Third, electric vehicles can be parked in any space designated for public parking, subject to the same regulations that apply to any other vehicle that would park in that space.

The first rule protects the space from gasoline and other non-electric vehicles. The second rule binds electric drivers too: an electric vehicle that is not in the process of charging is in violation while it sits in a space with a charging station, and the words 'or permit to be parked' reach a person who allows another to leave the vehicle there. The third rule keeps electric vehicles on equal footing with everyone else in ordinary public spaces, with no special privilege and no special restriction.

The penalty comes from section 10.52.290, which makes any person engaged in the unauthorized stopping, standing or parking of a vehicle within the city liable for a civil penalty. Its table lists section 10.52.010C at $45.00. A penalty paid within ten (10) normal working days from the date of receipt of notice is reduced by $20. Receipt of notice means the affixing of a notice to the vehicle or delivery of the notice to the owner or driver. For unauthorized stopping, standing or parking on the streets within the city, the person in whose name the vehicle is registered is strictly liable. The history note on the section lists Ord. 24-06 (2024) and Ord. 19-05 (2019).
