Shoot decision
Depends on setup
A general permit is required for film and photo work in the city.
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: Detroit Film Office (Media Services Department)
Cost: The city issues a no-fee general permit; depending on the project, additional city permits or fees may apply, for example street closures
Processing: Submit a location use form, ideally about a month ahead
A general permit is required for film and photo work in the city. The film office requires proof of insurance naming the City of Detroit as additional insured for all projects; confirm current coverage limits with the office. Small handheld or personal photography not occupying public space is generally outside the permit.
Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; coordinate with the film office for operation over city property
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
- The general permit is free, but extra city permits and fees attach for street closures and special needs.
- Allow about a month of lead time; insurance forms are required for all projects regardless of size.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
