Do I need a permit for ev charger installation in Town of Farmington?

Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Ev charger installation usually requires a permit in Connecticut. Confirm the specifics with Town of Farmington.

Adding a 240-volt circuit or hardwiring a charger alters the electrical system and needs a permit (CSBC R105.1); reinstalling a receptacle is exempt, but adding a new outlet is not (CSBC R105.2, Electrical item 2). Connecticut has no separate State electrical inspection program; electrical permits and inspections come from the local building official under the 2020 NEC portion of the State Building Code (CSBC R101.4.5). Electrical work requires a State electrical license (CGS 20-334), except an owner working in the single-family home the owner occupies, with inspection by the building official (CGS 20-340(11)). Connecticut's NEC amendment requires GFCI protection for outdoor outlets on single-phase branch circuits of 50 amperes or less (NEC 210.8(F) as amended).
