A film and digital media permit is required to film on city property, parks, and the public right of way, including commercial still photography and social media. General liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, plus auto and workers compensation, is required, naming the City of Phoenix. A low-impact tier covers minimal-footprint shoots.
Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; coordinate with the film office for flying over or from 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 low-impact permit tier is the route for small crews.
- Apply through the city's film portal; popular locations book quickly on a first-come basis.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
