IMPORTANT Note for Nonresident Alligator Hunters
Nonresident Fee
All nonresident alligator hunters are required to pay an additional nonresident alligator hunting fee of $200.00 before going afield. This fee is in addition to the required SC hunting license, application, and permit fee. This fee is valid for participation in any of the alligator hunting programs**
This fee is required of any permitted nonresident alligator hunter, as well as nonresident alligator hunting assistants 16 years of age or older. An alligator hunting assistant is defined as any member of an alligator hunting party who tries to find, seek, obtain, pursue, or diligently search for alligators (i.e. everyone in the boat 16 or older).
Nonresident alligator hunters and nonresident alligator hunting assistants can pay this fee online, by phone at 1-866-714-3611, or at any normal licensing agent.
**SCDNR cannot refund any application or permit fees.
