EV charging station permitting in Middlesex County follows the statewide framework in N.J.S.A. 40:55D-66.18, with permits issued by the municipality. The county's role is limited to chargers it installs at county parks and facilities.
New Jersey requires every municipality to allow electric vehicle supply equipment and make-ready parking as a permitted accessory use, under N.J.S.A. 40:55D-66.18 (adopted by P.L.2021, c.171). In Middlesex County that means the local construction and zoning office issues EV charger permits and applies the state's model ordinance, not the county. There is no county-level EV charging ordinance controlling residential or commercial installations. The county government's direct role is operational: it installs and manages public charging stations at county parks, county buildings, and commuter facilities, where drivers must follow posted time limits and use spaces only for active charging. Statewide electrical and building code standards, plus the state EV mandate, govern how private chargers are approved and where required charging spaces
Permit and installation issues are handled by the municipal construction office under the state Uniform Construction Code; violations trigger correction notices and code enforcement. At county-operated charging stations, misuse of a charging space (parking without charging or exceeding posted limits)
