It Now Costs $300 to Get a Film Permit in NYC

So we were a bit slow over the summer but I thought this bit of news, which was announced in June, is worth mentioning. In case you have not heard, the Mayor’s Office of Film & TV has instated a $300 application fee for permits to shoot within the City. There are some rules and exceptions.

Permit Required:
$300 application fee applies.

– Equipment or vehicles are used or the person filming asserts exclusive use of City property.

– Insurance is required for this permit.

Permit Not Required:
$300 permit fee does NOT apply.

– Hand-held cameras or tripods are used and the person filming does not assert exclusive use of City property.

Optional Permit:
$300 permit fee does NOT apply.

– Handheld equipment only. Permit does not include special parking privileges.

– Insurance is not required for this permit.
