Mobility Impaired Quota Permit

A Mobility Impaired Quota Permit is a type of limited entry permit that is required for certified mobility impaired hunters in order to participate in some mobility impaired only general gun hunts on select Management Areas.  Click theApplication Worksheetbutton at the bottom of the page for specific Management Areas and hunt dates. 

• Cost:$0.00
• Requirements:Unless exempt, you must have a valid Management Area Permit in order to apply.  Children age 15 that will turn 16 before or during the hunts should purchase a Management Area Permit and apply as a non-exempt hunter.  You must possess a Mobility Impaired Certification Card issued by the FWC in order to apply.   
• Issuance Method:These permits are issued by random drawing during Phases I and II.  Leftover permits are issued on a first come first served basis during Phase III.  In the Phase I random drawing, applicants are grouped based on their preference points.  Applicants with the highest number of Mobility Impaired preference points are selected before those with less Mobility Impaired preference points. 
• Exemptions:There are no exemptions to the hunts. You must have an Mobility Impaired Quota permit or be the guest of a permit holder to participate in these hunts.  
• Restrictions:You may submit one Mobility Impaired Quota application and receive up to one Mobility Impaired Quota permit in Phase I or II.  You may receive up to five Mobility Impaired Quota permits total in Phase III (including any permits awarded in Phase I or II). You can only apply in Phase II if you have not already been awarded a Mobility Impaired Quota permit during Phase I.  You can have no more than one Mobility Impaired Quota permit per hunt, and no more than five Mobility Impaired Quota permits total.  The selling or purchasing of any quota permit is prohibited. 
• Groups:Group applications are only accepted in Phase I. A group application assures that all members of the group (5 maximum) go through the random drawing as one application.  If successful, all members of the group receive a quota permit for the same hunt, even if there is only one permit left. Each group member must submit an application and join the group during the Phase I application period. You cannot add members to a group application after the Phase I application period ends.  The group's preference rank in the Phase I random drawing will be determined by the member with thelowestnumber of Mobility Impaired preference points among the members.  
• Preference Points: If you apply during Phase I and are unsuccessful, you will be awarded one Mobility Impaired preference point for next year (even if you get issued a permit in Phase II or III).  Preference points are cumulative and you will receive one additional Mobility Impaired preference point each year you apply in Phase I and are unsuccessful. If you apply during Phase I next year, and are drawn for a permit, your preference points will be reset to zero.  No preference points are awarded if you fail to apply in Phase I.  If you fail to apply during Phase I for 2 consecutive years, your preference points will be reset to zero. 
• Transferability:Mobility Impaired permits are NOT transferable (except Holton Creek). 
• Guest Permits:For each Mobility Impaired Quota Permit you may obtain one guest permit.  View our guest permit information.  
• Returned Permits:If you are unable to use your permit you can return it for re-issuance.   For information, see returning permits for reissuance.     
• Drawing Results:Drawing results are typically posted within about two weeks after the end of the Application period.  Check the status of your application. 
• Replacements:You can replace lost or destroyed non-transferable permits at a license agent or tax collector office for about $2. 50.   Mobility Impaired Quota permits for Holton Creek can only be replaced by the FWC’s Office of Licensing and Permitting (please allow at least 10 days to receive your replacement permit).  
• How to Apply:You can apply online (choose “Limited Entry/Quota Permits and Applications”) or complete the Application Worksheet (clickApplication Worksheetbutton at bottom of page) and present it to any license agent or tax collector office.  Children and resident management area permit holders who do not hold a Florida drivers license or Florida ID must apply as non-residents to use the online system.  Resident disabled, residents age 65 or older and resident active duty military that do not have a Florida driver's license or Florida ID cannot use the online system and must apply at a license agent or tax collector and show another proof of residency. 
• How to Get Your Permit:If successful in the Phase I or II random drawings, your permit will be mailed to you by FWC.  If you apply online during Phase III and are successful, your permit will be mailed to you. If you apply in person during Phase III and are successful, you will receive your permit from the clerk.
