The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) would like to remind Missouri landowners who get no-cost or reduced-cost deer and turkey landowner hunting permits through its Landowner Application Permit Application process that it may be time to reaffirm or update the property information submitted to MDC.

Under the process, landowners with at least twenty acres who want to receive free or reduced-cost landowner deer and turkey permits for their qualifying properties must submit information to MDC for those properties. Landowners must also reaffirm or update their property information every three years to continue to receive free permits.

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

Landowners can complete the process online by visiting an MDC link at  mdc.mo.gov/buypermits.  Newly acquired property can also be included. Once the information is reviewed and saved, landowners will be able to request the permits as soon as they become available for the season.

The Landowner Permit Application provides MDC and permit vendors with secure records of landowners and household members who qualify for the free or discounted permits, along with proof of ownership and boundaries of the properties to which the permits apply.
