I usually bill the permit for the actual job to the GC but the registation and bond fees are my cost to do business in that municipality. That GC probably had to pay licensing and bonding fees to that municiplaity too. That's my view anyway, its an indirect job expense.
How about this fun fact: In the State of Ohio, we have to pay a Commercial Activity Tax at a minimum of $150.00 per year. The state's almost precise wording says that this is a tax we have to pay for having the priviledge of operating a business in Ohio. A priviledge...wow.
