Yorba Linda runs an expedited permitting program for electric vehicle charging stations, following California AB 1236/AB 970 streamlining, with separate checklists for single-family and multifamily installations.
Through its Building and Safety Division, Yorba Linda administers an expedited EV charging station (EVCS) permitting program consistent with California's AB 1236 and AB 970 streamlining requirements for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. The City provides eligibility checklists and expedited review for both single-family residential and multifamily residential installations. Level 1 chargers that plug into a standard 120-volt receptacle generally require no Building Division permit if there are no electrical-system changes, while Level 2 stations using a 240-volt circuit typically require an electrical permit and inspection. Applications may be submitted in person at City Hall to the Building and Safety Division or electronically to electronicprocessing@yorbalindaca.gov.
Installing a Level 2 EVCS without the required electrical permit and inspection can result in a stop-work order and correction requirements from the Building and Safety Division; there is no separate parking penalty specific to charging stalls in the code.
