New concealed weapon license
- Upon arrival at the Volusia County Tax Collector office, the
applicant will complete the concealed weapon license application at a computer station. The
application will be reviewed before it is sent to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services. The applicant also will be photographed and electronically fingerprinted. This process
should take less than 30 minutes. Prescreening in our office decreases the likelihood of the
application being delayed due to errors or omissions.
- Applicants must demonstrate competency with a firearm to
qualify for a license by providing a copy of a training document or other certificate that confirms
you are proficient with a firearm.
- An applicant's eligibility for licensure will be made by the Florida Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services. You can check the status of your application by calling (850) 245-5691 and
