Do I need a permit for ev charger installation in Unincorporated Greenlee County?
Unincorporated Greenlee County does not issue residential building permits. Greenlee County has not adopted a building code for its unincorporated areas. The county issues a no-cost building permit only alongside a Zoning Use Permit and a Floodplain Permit, and it does not review plans or inspect construction. Manufactured home and septic permits come from the county Health Department. Confirm what your project needs with the county Engineering, Planning and Zoning office before you start.
The requirements below come from Arizona rules and describe the standard the work must still meet. They are not a statement that Unincorporated Greenlee County will issue you a permit.
Most likely yes. Ev charger installation usually requires a permit in Arizona. Confirm the specifics with Unincorporated Greenlee County.
A new 240-volt circuit or hardwired charger is permitted and inspected locally. Cities and towns adopt their own codes, and a county may adopt an electrical code for its zoned unincorporated areas (ARS 11-861). A county's electrical, plumbing, and mechanical codes may be a national model code or the code adopted by the largest city in that county (ARS 11-861), so the edition and inspection steps differ across the state. Arizona's small-job licensing exemption (ARS 32-1121, subsection A, paragraph 14) covers only casual or minor work under $1,000 in total and does not apply to any job that requires a local building permit, so a hired contractor on permitted work must hold a Registrar of Contractors license. This installation adds a 240-volt circuit or a hardwired charger, or changes the electrical panel. New circuits and panel work are electrical work that normally needs an electrical permit and inspection wherever an electrical permit program exists. A panel upgrade or new service usually also involves your electric utility, which may need to disconnect and reconnect power, so call them early. Many places require a licensed electrician for this work. Where a homeowner may do their own wiring, the permit and inspection still apply.
