(a) Each application for a license/permit shall be accompanied with the appropriate fee(s) as follows:

(1) New Application:
(A) Basic fee $377.00.

(B) When more than one license/permit is applied for at the same time and for the same permit location, a fee of $22.00 is required for each additional license/permit requested by the applicant at the permit location.

(2) Renewal Application:
(A) Basic fee $126.00.

(B) When more than one renewal is applied for at the same time and for the same permit location, a fee of $22.00 is required for each additional renewal requested by the applicant at the permit location.

(3) Annual Inspection Fee

Annual inspection fee is due with the annual renewal fee. Annual inspection fee will be determined by the DOJ based on the licensee's/permittee's prior year's reported inventory. No annual inspection fee will be required with the initial application except for those applicants who have held a dangerous weapon permit within the last 24 months. Applicants who have held a license/permit within the last 24 months will be required to pay the annual inspection fee (based on the prior permit term's inventory) at the time the initial application is approved.

(A) Licensees/permittees with less than five dangerous weapons recorded in their inventory in the last 12 months (regardless of whether or not the dangerous weapons were in the inventory at the same time): inspection fee $165.00.

(B) Licensees/permittees with five to twenty-five dangerous weapons recorded in their inventory in the last 12 months (regardless of whether or not the dangerous weapons were in the inventory at the same time): inspection fee $750.00.

(C) Licensees/permittees with twenty-six or more dangerous weapons recorded in their inventory in the last 12 months (regardless of whether or not the dangerous weapons were in the inventory at the same time): inspection fee $1,500.00.

(D) Out-of-state licensees/permittees with no California based permit location and no California based inventory: inspection fee $100.00.

(b) Inspection Frequency

Annual inspection frequency is based on inventory volume. Licensees/permittees with a combined total of five or more dangerous weapons recorded in their inventory during the last 12 months (regardless of whether or not the dangerous weapons were in the inventory at the same time) shall be subject to on-site inspections annually. All other licensees/permittees, including out-of-state licensees/permittees, shall be subject to an on-site inspection (records only inspection for out-of-state licensees/permittees) at least once every five years.

(c) The DOJ shall review and may adjust the fees annually pursuant to Penal Code sections 18905, 18910, 31000, 31005, 32655, 32715, and 33305 and establish a schedule of those fees.
