Trinity County, CA Parking Rules: EV Charging (2026)

Trinity County's Title 10 (Vehicles and Traffic) contains no provisions for electric-vehicle parking or charging, and there is no separate county EV ordinance. EV-readiness requirements instead come from California's statewide green building code, CALGreen (Title 24, Part 11), which applies to new construction in the unincorporated county and is administered through the County building permit and inspection process. Under CALGreen residential mandatory measures, new one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses must provide EV-charging infrastructure such as a listed raceway and dedicated electrical-panel capacity sized for a 208/240-volt branch circuit, with the termination location marked 'EV CAPABLE.' For accessory dwelling units without additional parking facilities, a listed raceway of not less than trade size 1 must originate at the service or subpanel and terminate in a marked enclosure. Multifamily projects must provide a percentage of EV-capable spaces. These are construction standards, not on-street parking rules: there is no published Trinity County ordinance reserving public on-street or lot parking exclusively for EV charging. Property owners should confirm the currently adopted CALGreen edition with the Trinity County building/planning division before permitting.
