California Government Code § 65850.7 (AB 1236) requires every city, including Tulare, to provide expedited, streamlined permitting for residential and commercial EV charging stations. Installations also follow the California Electrical Code and CALGreen Title 24 Part 11.
Under Cal. Gov. Code § 65850.7, Tulare must process EV-charging-station permits through an expedited, ministerial review with a published checklist. Applications meeting the checklist are approved and permits issued without discretionary review. Level 1 and Level 2 residential chargers typically require only an electrical permit through Tulare's Building Division, and electrical work must comply with California Electrical Code (Title 24 Part 3) and the manufacturer's listed installation instructions. CALGreen (Title 24 Part 11) mandates EV-ready capacity at new construction: § 4.106.4 requires one EV-capable space at new one- and two-family homes, and § 5.106.5.3 imposes EV-capable, EV-ready, and EVCS percentages at new multifamily and non-residential projects. Tulare County has separately adopted an EVCS expedited-review ordinance for unincorporated areas; city applicants apply through Tulare Community Development.
Unpermitted electrical work is corrected through Building Division NOVs; failure to provide required EV-capable infrastructure at new construction triggers Title 24 plan-check corrections before certificate of occupancy.
