Tinley Park supports residential EV charging installations with building and electrical permits through Community Development. Illinois state law (765 ILCS 605/18.11) protects condo and HOA owners' right to install chargers subject to reasonable conditions.
Residential EV charging stations require an electrical permit from Tinley Park Community Development when a new dedicated circuit is installed. Level 1 (120V) charging from an existing outlet generally does not require a permit. Level 2 (240V) installations require a licensed electrician and village inspection. Under Illinois law (765 ILCS 605/18.11), condominium associations and common-interest communities cannot unreasonably prohibit EV charging installations by unit owners, though reasonable restrictions on location, installation standards, and cost allocation are permitted. Public charging is available at select village facilities and commercial locations. Contact Tinley Park Community Development at (708) 444-5100 for permits.
Installation without required permits may result in stop-work orders and double permit fees. Non-compliant electrical work may need to be redone at owner expense. HOA disputes over EV charger installations may be addressed through the Illinois Attorney General or small claims court.
