How to use this page

Three checks before acting on a local result

Confirm the permit authority. This page is scoped to San Diego, CA. If a property is outside city limits or in a special district, confirm the local authority before using this as a planning path.

Keep permits and incentives separate. A rebate or utility incentive does not replace permit review, and an empty rebate section only means HomeReq has no approved local program record published for this project yet.

Open the official source before starting work. Use the source cards and verification dates as a trail back to the issuing department, utility, or program administrator.

Electrical permit and possible building permit check for EV charger installation

City of San Diego DSD's EVCS bulletin says an Electrical Permit is required for EV charging station installation, and a Building Permit is required where new building construction, additions, or alterations to an existing structure are proposed. EVCS in a residential private garage for single-dwelling units, duplexes, or townhouses can use the Simple No Plan permit path when eligible, but historic properties, multifamily, commercial, non-residential, structural, accessibility, utility-load, or other site conditions can require plans or a building permit.
