No person shall park a vehicle on the property without the owner's consent, or park a vehicle on the property in violation of any condition or regulation posted by the owner.

Full Breakdown

There is no Montgomery County rule requiring or restricting electric-vehicle charging equipment or parking. Installing a home Level 2 charger requires an electrical permit and inspection under the Ohio building and electrical codes, handled by your municipal or township building department. Enforcement of EV-only parking spaces on private lots rests on the property owner under Ohio Revised Code 4511.681, which lets owners post and enforce parking conditions. Public-street EV parking follows the general rules in Ohio Revised Code 4511.68.

Violations & Fines

Parking a non-EV in a posted EV-charging space on private property can be enforced by the owner as a minor misdemeanor under ORC 4511.681; charger installs without permits draw building-code penalties.
