The County Clerk is the clerk of the licensing board. To apply for a concealed weapons permit, contact your local police or sheriff's department. New applications have a fee for fingerprint check.
New applications can take several months for fingerprint clearance.
After clearance, the application is submitted to the County's gun board for approval. Permits are good for 3 years from the date of issuance. If you are renewing your permit, you should start the process at least 3 months before the expiration of your current permit. Contact your local police or sheriff's department.
