Orland Park encourages residential and commercial EV charging. Single-family installations require a basic electrical permit. Illinois law (765 ILCS 605/18.11) protects condo and HOA residents' right to install Level 2 charging in their assigned parking.
Orland Park homeowners installing Level 2 (240V) EV charging stations in garages or on driveways must obtain an electrical permit from the Building Division. Permit fees are modest, and installations typically require a dedicated 40A or 50A circuit installed by a licensed electrician. Outdoor units must be weatherproof and properly grounded. Commercial installations require additional zoning review and may need accessibility compliance. The Illinois Electric Vehicle Charging Act (765 ILCS 605/18.11) prohibits HOAs and condo associations from unreasonably restricting Level 2 EV charging in a unit owner's assigned parking space, though associations may impose reasonable installation and insurance requirements. ComEd offers EV charger rebates. Contact Orland Park Building Division at (708) 403-6200.
Installation without an electrical permit may result in stop-work orders, double permit fees, and required removal until inspected. Improperly installed charging equipment can void homeowner insurance.
