Board OKs increase to permit-to-carry application fees to match statute and neighboring counties
Summary
St. Louis County approved a revision to permit-to-carry application fees to bring the county into compliance with state statute and to recover increased staff, supply and equipment costs; county officials said the changes align local fees with neighboring counties.
St. Louis County commissioners approved revisions to the county’s 2025 permit-to-carry application fee schedule after a brief presentation by Under Sheriff Jason Acreson.
Under Sheriff Acreson told the board the department seeks to revise the permit-to-carry fees to comply with state statute and to recoup rising costs for staff time, supplies and equipment. He said the new fees would keep St. Louis County “in line with what all the surrounding counties are charging currently.”
The public hearing drew no speakers. The board closed the hearing and approved the fee-schedule update on a voice vote.
What passed: a board motion to revise the county’s permit-to-carry application fees for 2025, as described by the sheriff’s office. The motion was moved and seconded and approved; the transcript records a voice vote but does not show a roll-call tally or the exact new fee amounts.
What was not stated: the specific new fee amounts and the effective date of the revised fee schedule were not included in the public transcript; county staff remained available after the vote for follow-up questions, the clerk said.
