Ventura County follows California's CALGreen Code requirements for electric vehicle charging infrastructure in new construction. AB 970 and updated Title 24 standards require EV-ready parking spaces in new residential and commercial developments in unincorporated areas.
New residential construction in unincorporated Ventura County must comply with CALGreen Code requirements for EV charging infrastructure. Single-family homes must include a Level 2 EV-capable supply circuit (240-volt, 40-amp minimum) in the garage or designated parking area. Multi-family developments must provide EV charging spaces per CALGreen Table 5.106.5.3, with requirements scaling based on total parking count. New commercial developments must designate a percentage of parking spaces as EV-capable. AB 2565 requires landlords to approve tenant requests for EV charging station installation in designated parking spaces under reasonable conditions. The county's building permit process includes EV infrastructure review. Government Code Section 65850.7 prohibits unreasonable barriers to EV charging station permitting.
Non-compliance with CALGreen EV requirements may result in building permit denial or certificate of occupancy withholding until corrected. Landlords who unreasonably deny tenant EV charging requests under AB 2565 face potential civil liability. The county building division reviews EV infrastructure compliance during permit plan check and final inspection. Contact the building division through Code Enforcement at (805) 654-2466.
