Concealed Weapon License Fees Reduced
June 17, 2017
Scott Lunsford, Escambia County Tax Collector, has announced that fees to apply for or renew a concealed weapon license have been reduced.
Effective, July 1, an original application fee will be $119, which includes fingerprinting, photo and tax collector service fees. The renewal fee will be $57, which includes tax collector service fees. Fees have decreased a total of $15 since last year.
“We are proud to offer these services locally for our residents and are glad the Legislature worked to make the license more affordable,” Lunsford said. “We strive to serve our customers well and help them to obtain and renew their concealed weapon licenses.”
Services included in the concealed weapon license process include fingerprinting and photos. While renewal licenses for Florida residents have same day service and will be printed in the office, new applications still will be submitted to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services for final approval. The statutory turnaround time for this process is within 90 days. Licensees who are not Florida residents or who need to submit documentation of a name change will not be eligible to receive a renewal license on site. The applications still can be submitted through the tax collector’s office, but FDACS will print and mail the new license.
Concealed weapon licensing services are available at Lunsford’s Warrington office, 4051 Barrancas Avenue, Suite A. Appointments for concealed weapon license applications and renewals can be made here, by visiting EscambiaTaxCollector.com or by downloading the QLess app from iTunes or Google Play.

@ Jcellops
Are you a Doctor? Jest kidding.
From Fla Dept of Agriculture website:
http://www.freshfromflorida.com/Divisions-Offices/Licensing/Concealed-Weapon-License/Renew-Your-License
Your Florida concealed weapon or firearm license is valid for a period of seven (7) years. Approximately 150 days prior to the expiration date of your license, the department will send you a renewal form with complete instructions.
@Jcellops—Good for 5 years if I recall correctly.
7 years from the date issued, not your birth date as your drivers license.
How long is the CC good for, before you have to renew?
