Washington requires EV-ready parking in new construction and prohibits HOAs from banning EV charging stations, establishing baseline requirements that supersede conflicting local rules.
RCW 64.34.073 and RCW 64.38.055 prohibit condominium and homeowner association governing documents from banning the installation of EV charging stations on units or limited common elements where the owner has the right to install them. The state building code, adopted under RCW 19.27, requires EV-ready or EV-capable parking spaces in new multifamily and commercial construction. RCW 19.28.281 allows tenants to request landlord permission to install charging stations. Counties and cities must permit EV charging as an accessory use in zones where parking is allowed.
HOAs or landlords that unreasonably deny EV charging installations may face civil penalties and be required to pay attorney fees in enforcement actions brought by unit owners or tenants.
