Longmont, CO Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Longmont's municipal utility, Longmont Power & Communications (LPC), has installed five publicly available Level 2 charging stations at locations including the Development Services Center, Longmont Museum, and St. Vrain Memorial Building, with charging at $1 per hour through standard EV networking. Local installations require coordination with LPC and Planning & Development Services. To install a station, the applicant calls Planning and Development Services at 303-651-8330 and submits the city's Electric Service and EV Application; review takes one to two weeks if existing service is sufficient, one to two months for a single new station that needs added service, and six to eight months for a bank of commercial stations. EV applications are subject to the City of Longmont Requirements for Electric Service and Title 15 of the Longmont Municipal Code. At the state level, Colorado HB23-1233 (Electric Vehicle Charging & Parking Requirements, enacted 2023) requires that new and renovated multifamily buildings provide a defined percentage of EV-ready parking spaces, including Level 2 conduit and panel capacity, and prohibits HOAs and landlords from blocking reasonable EV charging installations; these state requirements apply in Longmont through the adopted state building codes, including the multifamily compliance milestone that took effect March 1, 2024. Property owners installing residential Level 2 chargers typically need an electrical permit through the Longmont Building Division and may need an LPC service upgrade if the existing panel capacity is insufficient.
