September 2023 NEW*****
We are now accepting License to Carry applications and renewals online at the following link: https://butlerpa.permitium.com/ccw/start
This is an option that I would like to provide for your convenience. We have partnered with a 3rd party vendor to provide this opportunity. There is an administrative fee and a credit card fee associated with this feature. You can always come into the office to apply or renew your License. If you choose to apply online, you will be notified about the status of the process and will be notified when to come in for your signature and picture.
