TAX & LICENSE / HUNTING & FISHING LICENSES

Hunting and fishing licenses are available through the county tax collector’s offices and other agents like sporting good stores or retailers that sell outdoor equipment. Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission allows you to purchase your hunting or fishing license by dialing a toll-free number and using a credit card:
