Isn't there a state law that caps the purchase permit charge at $5, statewide?

NCGS 14-404(e)

There shall be no limit as to the number or frequency of permit applications and no other costs or fees other than provided in this subsection shall be charged for the permit, including, but not limited to, any costs for investigation, processing, or medical background checks by the sheriff or others providing records to the sheriff.

But that is just the application fee. I believe they can also charge you for the mental health check as well. And I wonder if they can get creative with other charges?

The mental check cost is for the concealed permit. I was curious because a friend of mine said the Lincoln County sheriff's office told them is was $10 cash for each purchase permit. I think someone is looking to make a little cash on the side.

Nope, 5 bucks plus a convenience fee if going online.

Convenience fee sounds like its not legal to me

Well then you could always do it the legal way and just walk up to the county office. That's the only way Forsyth accepts applications. In person only, and I think there's nothing wrong with that.

It's been several years since I got a permit here in Forsyth County, but they were charging a NOTARY FEE when getting a permit. Why would an officer or clerk, receiving the forms and documents need to NOTARIZE them -- as he can verify their legitimacy when taking them. It seemed like a cheesy way to get extra fees. I suspect they still do that with CHP renewals; I'll find out next year...

They charge a notary fee in Craven County.

Forsyth County charges a tiny fee if you apply for permits online now vs in person.

They can't stop you from going to your own Notary, I do.
