Utah law restricts homeowners associations from prohibiting EV charging stations on owner-controlled property and sets state policy for public EV charging infrastructure investments through the Department of Transportation.
Utah Code 57-8-16.7 (condominiums) and 57-8a-209 (community associations) limit HOA authority to ban EV charging stations installed on a unit owner's limited common area or lot, requiring associations to allow reasonable installation subject to safety, insurance, and aesthetic conditions. Utah Code 54-3-32 directs the Public Service Commission and utilities on EV charging service standards, and Utah Code 72-1-213 authorizes UDOT EV charging corridor planning. Public charging stations are regulated as utility-related infrastructure with measurement standards under the Department of Agriculture and Food (Weights and Measures, Utah Code 4-9). Local governments may permit charger installation but cannot prohibit residential charging that complies with electrical code.
HOAs that flatly ban EV chargers in violation of 57-8-16.7 or 57-8a-209 may face civil suit and attorney-fee awards; uncertified public chargers can be red-tagged by Weights and Measures.
