Permit renewals must be applied for no less than forty-five (45) days prior to the permit expiration date. As a service to permit holders, the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office sends out renewal notice letters ninety (90) days in advance of expiration date.

Tips to ensure your permit will not expire:

Carefully read the renewal letter and go on-line NO LESS than forty-five (45) days before the permit is set to expire.
