Miami-Dade County supports EV adoption with permitting for home charging stations. Florida Statute 163.04 prohibits HOAs from banning EV charger installation. Building permits are required for Level 2 and DC fast charger electrical work, with expedited permitting available.
Florida Statute 163.04 prevents HOAs and condo associations from prohibiting EV charging station installation by homeowners. Miami-Dade County requires electrical permits for Level 2 (240V) home charger installation through the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER). Standard 120V outlet charging (Level 1) typically does not require a permit. The county encourages EV adoption and has installed public charging infrastructure. Running charging cables across sidewalks or public right-of-way is not permitted. New commercial construction may be subject to EV-ready parking requirements under the Florida Building Code. Contact RER at (786) 315-2000 for residential permit requirements.
Installing a Level 2 charger without an electrical permit is a code violation. Work must be performed by a licensed electrician. Unpermitted electrical work may result in stop-work orders, fines, and orders to remove or retroactively permit the installation.
