Greg,
Here in NJ even the Low Voltage (LV) things are suppose to have a permit. Most of the time it is just a minimum permit fee which could go from $25-$75 .(I guess) the price of permits have to do with the amount of permits per town. A town like John's may do 2000-3000 permits a year. His prices may be lower than mine. Of my towns I work for 1 town does 1100 - 1400 permits a year. Their permit fees for min is about $43 for up to 50 outlets. My other town which only does about 250 permits per year, their permit fees for minimum is $50 for the first 35 outlets. That means that their prices for the total bill will be higher since they do less permits.
