The Isanti County Sheriff's Office issues handgun "permits to carry" for residents of Isanti County.
All Isanti County residents who want to apply for a permit to carry a handgun must do so in person through the Isanti County Sheriff's Office.
Applicants must:
Apply in person
Be at least 21 years old and a citizen or permanent resident of the United States
Provide photo ID (driver's license, state photo identification card or valid passport with photo)
Submit a completed state application with the required documents, and cash or check for $100.00.
We will conduct a series of background-related checks to assure you meet the eligibility requirements established by state law. Once those checks are successfully completed, a permit will be issued that is valid for five years and may be used to purchase a handgun statewide.
In addition, applicants must not be prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. For additional information, click here to visit the BCA
Renewal of Permit to Carry
The Isanti County Sheriff's Office requires the following guidelines for the renewal of a Permit to Carry a Pistol in the State of Minnesota
(MN Statute 624.714):
Any 5 year permit expires at 12:00 A.M. midnight, on the date of expiration shown on the permit.
The applicant must appear in person and renew in the county in which they reside. Out of state residents can renew at any sheriff's office.
When renewing a permit, applicants must present evidence that they have received approved training in the safe use of a pistol within one year prior to the date of the renewal application.
A permit can be renewed up to 90 days prior to the expiration date of the current permit. The renewal gun permit fee will be $75.00.
After the expiration date, but within 30 days after the expiration, the permit can still be renewed by paying a fee of $85.00. During this time the old permit is not valid and you will not be able to carry until after you receive your renewal permit.
31 days after expiration the old permit can no longer be renewed. An application will have to be submitted for a new gun permit. The gun permit fee will then be $100.00.
Applicants are reminded that the Sheriff's Office has 30 days to process and mail a permit or to deny the application.
