US City
Denver
Denver's film permit is free and has clear crew thresholds; here is when handheld work is exempt and where drones are banned outright.
Permit: conditional
Shoot decision
Depends on setup
A permit is required on public property once you exceed crew thresholds (25 in a park, 10 on a sidewalk), use more than handheld gear or a single tripod, or block access or parking.
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: City and County of Denver Public Event and Film Permitting (Denver Arts and Venues)
Cost: No fee to apply for the film permit; other agencies may charge for street occupancy or police support
Processing: Apply ahead; complex shoots may require insurance
A permit is required on public property once you exceed crew thresholds (25 in a park, 10 on a sidewalk), use more than handheld gear or a single tripod, or block access or parking. Handheld shooting under those thresholds, breaking news, and private-property shoots need no permit.
Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; drones are prohibited in Denver Mountain Parks (including Red Rocks) and City Park, and need a permit to take off or land on sidewalks or in parks
Local rules 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
- Parks permit separately with extra rules: handheld-only in the Mountain Parks and filming hours of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- The permit does not authorize use of public art or city logos; Red Rocks, Union Station, and the State Capitol have their own processes.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
