California Civil Code §4745 and §1947.6 give condo owners and tenants the right to install electric vehicle charging stations in their assigned parking spaces. LA County building code Title 26 aligns with statewide pre-wiring rules for new multi-family construction.
California Civil Code §4745 prohibits homeowner associations from banning EV charger installation in deeded or exclusive-use parking spaces; HOAs may set reasonable architectural standards but cannot deny outright. Civil Code §1947.6 gives tenants in rental buildings with five or more units the right to install at their cost a Level 1 or Level 2 charger in their assigned space, subject to landlord approval of qualified installers and insurance. LA County building code Title 26, Chapter 2.30, requires new multi-family construction to provide EV-capable raceways for at least 10 percent of parking spaces. Existing buildings need not retrofit absent tenant or owner request. Contract cities and incorporated cities apply their own building codes.
HOAs or landlords blocking EV charger installation in violation of Civil Code §4745 or §1947.6 face civil penalties up to 1,000 dollars plus attorney fees. Failure to provide raceways in new construction blocks Title 26 final permit approval.
