Arizona EV Charging Law: Statewide Parking Rules Rules (2026)

Key Facts

HOA Statute: ARS 33-1818
Condo Statute: ARS 33-1260.01
Owner Right: Install on own space
Permits: City electrical permit required

Full Breakdown

ARS 33-1818 and 33-1260.01 prohibit homeowners associations and condominium associations from banning the installation of EV charging stations on a member's own parking space or assigned area. Associations may impose reasonable safety and aesthetic conditions but cannot effectively prevent installation. The state does not preempt municipal zoning or building permits for public charging stations. Owners typically must obtain electrical permits and meet NEC standards adopted by their city.

Violations & Penalties

An HOA that prohibits an owner's EV charger or imposes unreasonable conditions may be liable for the owner's damages, attorney fees, and statutory penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an Arizona HOA charge a fee to approve my EV charger?

HOAs may require reasonable architectural review but cannot impose fees that effectively prohibit installation. Owners remain responsible for installation costs, insurance, and electrical metering of their station.

Does Arizona require landlords to allow EV chargers?

Arizona has no general statewide tenant EV charging right. The protections in ARS 33-1818 apply to community association members, not standard rental properties. Tenants should negotiate charging access in their lease.
