Permit
Conditional

Cost: Around $25 for the location permit application plus about $25 for the permit; extra costs apply for meters, street closures, and off-duty city personnel
Processing: Apply ahead; insurance must be on file before the permit issues
All productions and student films shooting in Orleans Parish must apply for a permit. You must carry at least $1,000,000 in general liability naming the City of New Orleans and all of its agents and departments as additional insured. Personal photography that does not occupy public space generally needs no permit.
Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; the city adds insurance and approval requirements
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
- The French Quarter has tight restrictions and heavy foot traffic; expect extra conditions for commercial shoots there.
- Festival season, including Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest, changes what is permitted and when; plan around the calendar.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
