Our original 20 entries were collected fee-relief evidence, not a complete statewide survey. A directory listing does not verify a policy. Missing evidence does not mean “no refund,” a $0 fee, or a confirmed policy.

UNDERSTAND THE FEE

What can a town refund?

N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4(c) sets a $200 application fee. For an application through a municipal police chief, the statute allocates $150 to the municipality and $50 to the State.

$150Municipal portion
$50State portion

Local relief concerns the municipal portion. Some towns collect the fee first, then reimburse eligible applicants. Training, fingerprints, portal charges, and other fees are separate. Confirm current charges with the issuing authority.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

How to request a refund

  1. Check your municipality. Review its official resolution or police guidance and the eligibility dates.
  2. Confirm the local process. Ask the clerk, finance department, or firearms unit which form and proof of payment are required.
  3. Keep your documents. Retain your receipt and application confirmation. Submit a refund request only through the municipality’s official process.

Expand “How to apply” in a municipality’s row for instructions when available. Unknown amounts and dates are shown explicitly.

About these sources

Confirmed relief requires reviewed official policy evidence. Reported relief relies on attributed reporting, including NRA-ILA’s March 5, 2026 report. A proposal or meeting agenda does not establish adoption. “Policy not yet verified” means policy evidence has not yet been collected for that municipality.

Municipality names, types, codes, and counties come from the official roster cited above. Its check date confirms directory research only. Policy evidence and review dates are shown separately in each researched row.

Automated source checks produce candidates for human review. They do not automatically verify or publish policy changes or alerts. Policy review dates refer to the cited evidence, not a guarantee that a policy remains unchanged.

Research credit: municipal sources, NJFOS’s policy brief and model resolution, NRA-ILA, and CCRKBA.
