Shoot decision
Depends on setup
A permit is required to film on city and county property and right of way on Oahu.
Permit
Conditional
Issuer: City and County of Honolulu Film Office (Mayor's Office of Culture and the Arts); state-owned land uses the separate Hawaii Film Office permit
Cost: City and county permit fees range from about $20 to $300 per day depending on the shoot and whether fee-reduction criteria are met
Processing: Apply ahead; payment due before the permit is released
A permit is required to film on city and county property and right of way on Oahu. Insurance of at least $1,000,000 general liability naming the City and County of Honolulu is required only for projects that create significant impact; low-impact shoots usually do not need it.
Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; expect restrictions over public land and beaches
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 local law.
Practical notes
- Determine jurisdiction first: city and county versus State of Hawaii land use different film offices and permits.
- Apply via the ePermit system; fee reductions are available for qualifying productions.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.

Check the flight side
City photo permits do not settle airspace. Drone Authority covers FAA rules, local restrictions, and LAANC checks.
