St. Clair County sets no dedicated EV-charging ordinance for the unincorporated county. Installing home or commercial charging equipment follows state electrical/building code and utility rules; Illinois' EV building requirements apply where adopted. Check your city if you live inside a municipality.
The St. Clair County Code and Zoning Ordinance contain no specific electric-vehicle charging station provisions, so the county sets no rule here. Home charger installation is instead governed by the National Electrical Code as adopted through Illinois and county building/electrical permitting, plus your utility's service requirements. Statewide, the Electric Vehicle Charging Act (20 ILCS 627) requires certain newly constructed single-family homes and multifamily/parking developments to include EV-capable infrastructure, and a homeowners-association cannot unreasonably prohibit an owner from installing a charging station. For unincorporated properties, apply for any needed electrical permit through the county; incorporated cities administer their own building departments and any local EV rules.
There is no county EV-parking penalty; installing charging equipment without a required electrical/building permit is a permit violation handled by the building department.
