The fees are set by statute. See CGS 29-30.
Sec. 29-30. Fees for pistol and revolver permits. Expiration and renewal of permits. (a) The fee for each permit originally issued under the provisions of subsection (a) of section 29-28 for the sale at retail of pistols and revolvers shall be two hundred dollars and for each renewal of such permit two hundred dollars. The fee for each state permit originally issued under the provisions of subsection (b) of section 29-28 for the carrying of pistols and revolvers shall be one hundred forty dollars plus sufficient funds as required to be transmitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to cover the cost of a national criminal history records check. The local authority shall forward sufficient funds for the national criminal history records check to the commissioner no later than five business days after receipt by the local authority of the application for the temporary state permit. Seventy dollars shall be retained by the local authority. Upon approval by the local authority of the application for a temporary state permit, seventy dollars shall be sent to the commissioner. The fee to renew each state permit originally issued under the provisions of subsection (b) of section 29-28 shall be seventy dollars. Upon deposit of such fees in the General Fund, ten dollars of each fee shall be credited within thirty days to the appropriation for the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection to a separate nonlapsing account for the purposes of the issuance of permits under subsections (a) and (b) of section 29-28.
[Note- I did not include subsections (b)-(f) because those relate to things such as validity period of permits to carry and retail sale permits, status/ non-renewability of local permits issued before 1 October 2001 AFTER 1 October 2001, certain factors associated with permit renewal, when renewal fees apply, validity period and non-renewable status of temporary permit, that permit fees are non-refundable unless the permit is denied ("the portion of the fee expended" on a national criminal history check is NOT refundable even in the event of a denial), renewal notifications, and renewal by mail procedures.]
