Hunting Licenses and Fees
License, permit and miscellaneous fees
The Utah Legislature passed a law authorizing higher nonresident fees to help fund the purchase of large blocks of land that offer protection to wintering wildlife. These nonresident fee increases will begin July 1, 2025 for hunting, fishing and combination licenses, and Sept. 1, 2025 for permits. (See the tables below for details.)
If you want to hunt in Utah, you must possess either a valid hunting license or a combination license. Depending on what species you want to hunt, you may also need an additional permit. (Permits and licenses are different documents.) A hunting license is required to hunt game animals in Utah, and a combination license serves as both a hunting license and a fishing license. Licenses are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase, unless you buy a multiyear license, which will be valid for longer.
