For the commercial permit year 2022, we estimate 722 individuals purchased a Taxidermy/Tanning Permit.

The commission based its proposed permit-price increases on information from the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index (CPI) related to cost-of-living increases from 2008 to 2022. CPI is a commonly used measurement of the average changes over time in prices paid by consumers for consumer goods and services. The commission is recommending a gradual price increase over 10 years at a CPI of 75% for resident permits and 100% for non-resident and commercial permits.
