Weapons Permits

Picture
Chapter 724 of the Iowa Code and Administrative Rules, 661, Chapter 91 contain information on Iowa’s weapon laws and the issuance of weapon permits in Iowa.

SF2379 was enacted during the 2010 legislative session and signed by Governor Culver to become Iowa law on January 1, 2011. It makes significant changes to Iowa Code Ch. 724.

The Lucas County Sheriff's Office requires a valid Iowa Driver's License or ID  when applying for a permit to acquire or permit to carry.  

Permits to Acquire are $30 and expire after 5 years.  There is a 3 day waiting period from the date of application until the permit to acquire is valid.

To obtain a Permit to Carry, applicants must also produce a training certificate or have the military form DD214.  Permits to Carry are $50 and expire after 5 years. To renew a permit to carry, the permit must be within 30 days before or after the expiration. The cost would then be $25.
Effective December 21, 2017, the Iowa Department of Public Safety will be sending the Concealed Weapon Permits and Permit to Acquires to the permit holders through the U.S. Postal Service after they have filed the applications and paid the fee to the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office. The Lucas County Sheriff’s Office will not be providing the permit holders with any type of permit.
 
The process is as follows:
  1. Person(s) who have never had a permit to carry must complete a certified course either online or in person. Within one year of receiving that certificate, they must bring a copy of the certificate to the Sheriff’s Office. Applicant shall also display an identification card that bears a distinguishing number assigned to the cardholder, the full name, date of birth, sex, residence address, and a brief description and color photograph of applicant. The Sheriff’s Office will provide the applicant with an application to fill out. A record check will be made by the Sheriff’s Office to determine the eligibility of the applicant. If everything checks out, the applicant will pay a fee of $50.00 to the Sheriff. They will receive the permit from the Iowa Department of Public Safety within 5-10 business days of the issue date.
  2. Person(s) who have a permit to carry shall take their application to the Sheriff’s Office for renewal of their current permit 30 days prior or 30 days after the expiration of their current permit. The applicant shall also display an identification card that bears a distinguishing number assigned to the cardholder, the full name, date of birth, sex, residence address, and a brief description and color photograph of applicant. A record check will be made by the Sheriff’s Office to determine the eligibility of the applicant. If everything checks out, the applicant will pay a fee of $25.00 to the Sheriff. Applicant will receive the permit from the Iowa Department of Public Safety within 5-10 business days of the issue date.
  3. An application for renewal of a current permit that is not within the 30-day grace periods will be considered a new permit. The applicant shall pay a fee of $50.00 if the record check is clean. Applicant shall also display an identification card that bears a distinguishing number assigned to the cardholder, the full name, date of birth, sex, residence address, and a brief description and color photograph of applicant. Applicant will receive the permit from the Iowa Department of Public Safety within 5-10 business days of the issue date.
  4. A person applying for a Permit to Acquire will fill out the application form. They shall also display an identification card that bears a distinguishing number assigned to the cardholder, the full name, date of birth, sex, residence address, and a brief description and color photograph of applicant. There is a fee of $30.00 payable to the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office. If record check is clean, applicant will receive the permit from the Iowa Department of Public Safety within 5-10 business days of the issue date.
 
Please note, the Lucas County Sheriff’s Office does accept credit cards for payment of the permits. However, if a person pays with a credit card within 5 business days of the end of the month, their permit will be valid the first day of the following month.
 
Applications received within the last full week of the month will have an issue date of the first day of the following month.
