What this benefit is
A veteran receiving compensation from the United States for a service-connected disability buys the hunting and fishing licence at a reduced fee, up to 25% below the full price. A.R.S. 17-333(C)(3) sets no minimum percentage — being compensated is the whole test. You must have been an Arizona resident for a year or more immediately before applying.
What it's worth: The licence at up to 25% below the full fee
- There is NO minimum percentage. A.R.S. 17-333(C)(3) asks only that you receive compensation from the United States for a service-connected disability.
- The reduction is up to 25% of the full licence fee. The exact current fee is set by Game and Fish Commission rule, so the cash figure moves.
- You must have been an Arizona resident for one year or more immediately before applying.
- This is a different and much wider route than the complimentary licence at 100% permanent and total, or the half-price Purple Heart licence. Check all three — take whichever is worth most to you.
Who is entitled to it
- You served in the U.S. armed forces.
- You are compensated for a service-connected disability.
- You are in Arizona.
Not sure whether that describes you?
Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.
How to claim it
- 1Apply to the Game and Fish Department with proof that you receive VA compensation for a service-connected disability.
- 2Do not be deterred by a low rating. There is no minimum percentage on this route.
- 3Check the one-year residency first — it is residency immediately before applying, so a recent move blocks it.
- 4Compare with the complimentary licence at 100% permanent and total and the half-price Purple Heart licence before buying. You take one, so take the best.
