Applications for the public alligator lottery are still available through July 15th at 11:59 p.m.
A $10 nonrefundable application fee is required to apply. A randomized computer drawing based on a preference point system will determine the selection of hunters. This year’s public alligator season will begin at 12 p.m. (noon) on Sept. 13th and run until 12 p.m. (noon) on Oct. 11th.
Tag fees, if selected, are $100. Additional fees apply to nonresident hunters. Applicants will be notified by email of selection status after the drawing is completed. Applicants can also check their status online anytime after the drawing.
The deadline to apply is July 15th at 11:59 p.m.
Current applicants can change their application location preferences or convert to a points only (and vice-versa) up until the lottery closes.
