Just FYI, I applied for my PA non-resident permit two weeks ago. Today in the mail I received my check and application returned with a letter from Sheriff Eric Weaknecht stating:
"Unfortunately, and until further notice, the Berks County Sheriff's Office is no longer accepting out-of-state applications as we need to prioritize application and renewal requests from residents of Berks County.
We hope to again open applications to our out-of-state neighbors in the near future."
