(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Cass County Sheriff’s Office says they are receiving questions about the timeliness of Iowa Permits to Carry Weapons and Iowa Permits to Acquire Weapons delivered from the State. The Sheriff’s Office has been in contact with the appropriate State Department and was informed that due to a change in the printing system and current mail times, the receipt of permits via mail has been delayed. Current wait times are estimated between 1 week and up to 4 weeks.
The Sheriff’s Department apologizes for the inconvenience and says they are doing everything they can on their end, to expedite the process. And, they says “We share your same hope that this delay is soon resolved.”
In the meantime please remember, permits are good for 5 years from the date of issuance. If you wish to keep your permit(s) active, please check their respective expiration date. Permits can be “renewed” 30 days before or 30 days after their expiration. Any applications made outside of that window are considered “new/initial” permits by the State of Iowa. Renewal permits are $25 and New/Initial permits are $50; State set fees.
If you have questions regarding your permit, please call the Cass County Sheriff’s Office during business hours, at 712-243-2206.
