NYS DEC Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping Licenses
As the Town Clerk, I issue fishing, hunting, and/or trapping licenses.
You must present a valid form of ID and the necessary certificates. I only accept cash payments for in-person transactions.
You can also get your licenses online: DEC Online Purchase
FISHING TYPES AND FEES:
License Issuing Agents (LIAs) have the option to charge a $1 print fee for all printed transactions carried out in DECALS to help cover the cost of supplies. Transactions made online or over the phone are subject to a $2 printing/mailing fee if those items are printed and mailed. These additional fees can be avoided by choosing to have your item emailed to you so you can print it at home.
