§ 45-51-220.03. Hunting Preserve - License or Permit Fees; Inspections.

The privilege license or permit fee for operating a hunting preserve shall be twenty-five dollars ($25) per year for the first 100 acres of hunting preserve plus five dollars ($5) per year for each additional 100 acres or part thereof. Any person who desires to operate such a hunting preserve shall first file a request with a local state game warden, or with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, to have the tract which he or she proposes to use as a hunting preserve inspected, and if it meets the requirements of this article and the rules and regulations of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources he or she shall have a permit issued to him or her to procure a license to operate such hunting preserve. The applicant shall be advised of any discrepancies in writing for remedial action and a date shall be set for reinspection. Upon presentation to the Judge of Probate of Montgomery County of a permit from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, dated not more than 30 days prior to its presentation, accompanied by the proper license fee prescribed in this section, and an issuance fee of fifty cents ($0.50), the judge of probate shall issue a privilege license to operate a hunting preserve to the applicant. Privilege licenses to operate hunting preserves shall be issued on forms prescribed by the commissioner and furnished by him or her to the judge of probate. All fees collected by the judge of probate for issuing hunting preserve licenses shall be remitted at the same time and in the same manner that hunting and fishing license fees are remitted and shall be paid into the game and fish fund of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
