(Beaver County, Pa.) Beaver County Treasurer Sandy Egley sent out a press release stating that her office received a letter from the Pa Game Commission notifying her office that there will be an increase in transaction fees for all hunting licenses this year.

The cost for a Pa resident antlerless deer license will increase from $6.90 to $6.97. Non-resident antlerless deer license will increase from $26.90 to $26.97.

The County Treasurer’s office will begin accepting Pa resident antlerless deer license applications by mail on July 12, 2021. The Treasurer’s office is recommending that you don’t mail your application before July 9, 2021.

Treasurer Egley said in the statement that per Game Commission rules any applications received before July 12, 2021 will not be processed and will be returned.
