Washington County requires electrical permits for Level 2 EV chargers under OAR 918-311-0065. HOAs cannot prohibit EV charger installation on owner property under ORS 94.798. County Building Services issues EVSE permits via ePermitting.
Installation of a 240V Level 2 EV charger in unincorporated Washington County requires an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) electrical permit under OAR 918-311-0065. Licensed electrical contractors may use a minor installation label for a new 40A/240V branch circuit to a wall-mounted EVSE in a one- or two-family dwelling garage; larger installations require a standard permit. No separate building permit is required for EVSE only. ORS 94.798 prohibits HOAs from banning EV charger installation on an owner's dedicated parking space; reasonable conditions (installer qualifications, insurance, cost allocation) are permitted. Oregon Reach Code (optional) and 2023 statewide code updates require a percentage of EV-ready parking in new multi-family and commercial construction. Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Tigard all administer the same OAR 918-311 EVSE permit.
Unpermitted electrical work: stop-work order plus investigation fee (often 2x permit fee). HOA illegally blocking EV charger: homeowner may sue and recover attorney fees.
