Purchase coupon policy:
* NIC checks are no longer done by the County Clerk’s Office. *
Purchase coupons are issued when a permit holder comes into the office with a bill of sale for a weapon they want to purchase. If the weapon is being bought from a dealer, the bill of sale must include the name and address of that dealer. If the weapon is being bought from an individual, the bill of sale must include the seller’s name, address, and pistol permit number. The new weapon will be put on the buyer’s pistol permit and a purchase coupon will be generated. This purchase coupon will include the weapon information and have the county seal on it. This coupon will allow the buyer to legally pick up the weapon. A permit holder selling a weapon must receive a purchase coupon, with the weapon information and county seal on it, before giving the weapon to the buyer. This coupon will be needed to remove the weapon from the seller’s pistol permit.
