Residential EV charger installation requires an electrical permit; Utah state law protects EV charging rights in HOAs and encourages public charging infrastructure.
Installation of a Level 2 (240V) EV charger at a single-family home requires an electrical permit from the West Valley City Building Division, and typically a licensed electrician. Utah Code 57-8a-801 and 57-8-8.7 limit HOA authority to prohibit EV charging station installation by owners. Commercial developments may be subject to EV-ready parking stall requirements under the adopted building code. Utah offers state tax credits and Rocky Mountain Power rebates for qualifying installations.
