COST

The cost of renewal is $10.00. This may be paid by check, money order, or credit card. We recommend you do not send cash in the mail.  If the permit has been expired for more than 30 days a late fee of $7.50 will be charged.

PROCESS

Once we receive a renewal application the permit immediately gets renewed for the next five years. A new card will be sent to the permit holder approximately one to two weeks after we receive the renewal application.

BACKGROUND CHECK

Occasionally a permit holder gets involved in criminal activity which results in the revocation of his or her permit. The renewal process also includes conducting another background check. However, the renewal is automatic. There will be no break in the validity period of a permit. Even in cases where a criminal incident needs to be investigated, the permit remains valid until the investigation is complete. If corrective action is ultimately needed, the permit holder will be notified. This is why it is possible that a permit holder may receive a new permit card and then a short period later receive a letter revoking the permit.
