Sacramento follows California Government Code 65850.7 for streamlined EV charger permitting; single-family installs get expedited review and low-cost permits.
California Government Code 65850.7 requires all cities, including Sacramento, to adopt ordinances streamlining EV charger permits. Sacramento Building Division issues over-the-counter permits for Level 2 residential chargers on dedicated circuits; fees run about 150 dollars. The city also enforces CALGreen requirements mandating EV-ready parking spaces in new multifamily and commercial construction. Public chargers in ParkSac garages and SMUD-funded curbside units follow 4-hour session limits to prevent ICE-ing and EV charger hogging. AB 1738 extends EV-ready mandates to existing multifamily at major renovation.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
