Thought you guys would want to know.
If you need a new permit or are close, you might want to get it before the end of the month!
And apparently the "Family" permit has also been changed to only cover family members up until they are 14 years old. I bet even less city idiots will buy them now. I can understand needing to raise the price some, but holy ****.

Fiscal Year 2009 Fee Increases
(Phoenix, July 22, 2008) -- Balancing the State’s fiscal year 2009 budget was very difficult due to a shortfall of about two billion dollars. The Land Department was not exempt from budget cuts and our budget was reduced by $3,155,500, or about 14%. As part of the Land Department’s budget reduction, the Land Commissioner was instructed to offset $600,000 in reductions with increased fees (Laws 2008, Chapter 291, Section 12). The Department primarily charges application fees for use of State Trust land. These fees have not been adjusted since 1990 and were in need of adjustment. Prior to the passage of the fiscal year 2009 budget, the Department analyzed the fees and the Department’s cost for processing applications, which enabled the Department to quickly enact this new legislation.
The following table lists the new application fees effective August 1, 2008. The new fees will remain effective until June 30, 2009, unless extended by the Legislature. The Department will accept applications with the pre-August 1, 2008 fees if it is postmarked prior to August 1, 2008. Additionally, the Department will accept any fees due after August 1, 2008, that were billed using the old rates.
