Seminole follows the Florida Building Code and state law for EV charging stations. Installations require electrical permits, and parking spaces must comply with state accessibility and signage rules.
The City of Seminole regulates EV charging primarily through the Florida Building Code and city electrical permitting. Residential Level 2 chargers require a permit and inspection by the Building Department. Commercial EV charging stations must follow Florida Statutes Section 366.94 (electric vehicle charging) and Section 553.5141 (accessible EV parking). Stations must be properly signed, and at least one accessible space must serve charging facilities at qualifying locations. The city has not adopted broad EV-only parking ordinances; charging spaces in private lots are enforced by the property owner.
Unpermitted electrical work is corrected through the Building Department permitting process. Improper use of EV charging spaces is enforced privately or under state law.
