Hunting / Fishing Licenses
New York State Conservation Licenses may be obtained at the Town Clerk's Office. Hunters should bring their driver's license and either an old hunting license or a hunter education certificate when applying. Old backtags are not valid proof of eligibility. Fishing licenses are required for persons 16 years of age and older. A driver's license or driver's permit are eligible forms of identification.
When purchasing a lifetime license for a child, the purchaser must bring a copy of the child's birth certificate and a copy of the parent's proof of residency.
Fees vary according to license type.
