Processing: Registration, an inquiry meeting, then Department of Transportation permitting; start well ahead
Baltimore City requires permits for most film and commercial photography location shoots. The process starts with a registration form and a Certificate of Liability Insurance sent to the Baltimore Film Office, which then coordinates the permit with the Department of Transportation and other city agencies. Casual handheld personal photography does not need a permit. Verify current requirements with the film office.
Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; local property rules add restrictions
Local takeoff, landing, and park restrictions sit on top of FAA airspace rules. For Part 107 and drone law, see Drone Authority.
Street / public space
Yes: you can photograph what is visible from public space in the US
Private property sets its own rules regardless of city law.
Practical notes
- Fort McHenry is a national park unit, so NPS commercial filming rules apply there, not city rules.
- City parks run permits through Baltimore City Recreation and Parks, separate from the film office pipeline.
- Maryland has a state film office too; shoots on state property route through it rather than the city.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
