Conservation Notes -- Landowner Permit Application Reminder

Brandon Lyddon, Conservation Agent

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) reminds Missouri landowners who get no-cost or reduced-cost deer and turkey landowner hunting permits through its Landowner Permit Application system that it may be time to reaffirm or update the property information they submitted to MDC. The simple reaffirmation process is required every three years. The Landowner Permit Application system helps prevent non-landowners from fraudulently obtaining the free landowner permits.  

Landowners can complete the simple reaffirmation process online at mdc.mo.gov/buypermits. Once logged in to Manage Your Account, click Manage My Landowner Permit Application and select the Reaffirm or Remove button for each property listed. Landowners can also add newly acquired or other qualifying property not previously included. Once all property has been reviewed and saved, landowners will be able to request their landowner permits as soon as they become available for the season.

MDC will be emailing landowners who enrolled in 2020 with information and instructions on reaffirming or updating their property information. Landowners without email will receive a letter from MDC with information and instructions on reaffirming or updating their property information.
