Utah County cities follow the 2021 International Building Code with Utah amendments requiring EV-ready parking in new multifamily construction. Residential Level 2 installations need a Utah-licensed electrician and an electrical permit.
Under Utah's adopted IBC amendments (Utah Admin. Code R156-56) and Utah Code Title 15A, Provo and Orem require new multifamily and mixed-use developments to include EV-capable or EV-ready parking spaces, typically 10-20% of spaces. Provo Building Division issues electrical permits for Level 2 (240V) home chargers, usually $85-$150; panel upgrades trigger additional permits. Utah Code §57-8-15.5 and §57-8a-227 prohibit HOAs and condo associations from unreasonably banning EV chargers on owner-controlled property; HOAs may impose reasonable safety and aesthetic conditions. Rocky Mountain Power offers rebates up to $200 for qualifying residential chargers in Utah County. Public DC fast charging along I-15 and US-189 corridors must comply with ADA accessibility requirements and Utah Code §54-3-32.
Unpermitted electrical work: Provo stop-work order plus 2x permit fee penalty (Provo Code §15.04). HOA violations of UT §57-8-15.5 expose HOAs to attorney fee awards for prevailing homeowners.
