Florida Statutes Section 366.94 preempts local regulation of electric vehicle charging stations, so Pinellas Park follows state rules adopted by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services rather than its own EV charging ordinance.
Under Florida Statutes Section 366.94, local governments such as Pinellas Park may not enact or enforce an ordinance or regulation specifically governing electric vehicle charging stations. The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services adopts statewide rules to ensure consistency for consumers and the EV industry. Pinellas Park can still apply its general zoning, building permit, and electrical permit requirements when a charging station is installed, and it must comply with Florida Building Code accessibility provisions for new commercial chargers. Property owners installing residential Level 2 chargers typically need an electrical permit through Building Development.
Permit-related violations only. Charging station rate, signage, and metering rules are enforced by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
