Moved and just now realized by CCW permit is in the old county. What does it take to swap to the new county? Larimer to Weld btw.

Fill out a change of address form with the County that issued the permit.

When I moved 3 years ago I just filled out the change of address form, then when that one expired I had to apply in my new county.
Be aware that if you move to another county in the state you only have 30 days to submit a change of address form with the issuing sheriff office, otherwise the permit becomes invalid and you'll have to reapply for a new permit in the new county. The permit administrator might give a pass on the 30 day notice deadline but don't count on it.

That is the written rule, but I suspect they only enforce it if there are other circumstances that suggest you are a dipsh!t. My wife and I were over a year out of date (eh, sue me, other priorities had hold of my attention). My wife is a bit of a "rule follower" and was a bit freaked out that someone was going to arrest us or something. My expectation was we would probably get a verbal dressing down and have to fill out some additional paperwork, worst case have to re-apply and wait it out. Went ahead and filled out the change form and stopped into the sheriff's office, prepared to plead it out, but didn't plan on pointing out that we were overdue. Handed the forms over, the sheriff logged it in, gave the short spiel about how when it expires I will need to deal with the Weld sheriff (normal stuff) and wished us a good day. About a week later our updated permits showed up in the mail. Not a word about being more than a year overdue. Happy to be back in compliance.

Same thing happened to me when we bought our first house, same city and county (El Paso). Changed my DL but didnt think about the CCW. Was almost a year, mailed the form, said I just forgot after the move. Got the new one in the mail about a month later.
That's good to hear, but probably best to be aware and file as soon as you move lest you encounter a new-to-the-job administrator eager to impress the boss who may not be so CCW friendly.

My 1st renewal, when it was up to the local sheriff was a mailer we received. SO.... not having received a notice. One day while doing a CCW class i showed people what the permit looked like.
AS one student looks at it she says. You know this is expired. Like 3 yrs prior. 2 interactions with LE having showed my permit. Neither one ever said a thing about it being expired. I "guess" it's who you encounter that makes a difference.

So I had my CCW first issued by Larimer county, I just had the address changed to my current county of resident, the back if the license still says Larimer county. I know I will move again next year, so do I still have to go change the address on file with Larimer county sheriff or do i do that with my current county now despite the license card still has Larimer written on it?
Just hope to find out here, I kept forgetting to call them during business hours.

Finally remembered to call, you still have to change it with the issuing county for address change, you only go to the new county office for renewal.
