Starting July 1, people looking for permits and licenses will be paying more money to the the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission.
The adjustments are based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers changes, last increased in January 2020. This will impact hunting, fishing, trapping and activity licenses, permits, stamps and certifications.
According to a press release, it will help the agency streamline rising operational costs due to inflation and an increased demand for services.
The commission is funded in multiple ways, but the sale of licenses, vessel titles and registrations make up 25%. It’s also boosted by federal grants, general fund appropriations and other receipts. This allows the agency to continue with enforcement, education and public access concerning North Carolina wildlife.
