Required for shoots using the public right of way, city parks, or city buildings. For right-of-way and city buildings, commercial general liability of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence is required, with an additional-insured endorsement naming the City of Portland. Private-property shoots with no public impact need no city permit.
Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; the city adds approvals for takeoff or landing on 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
- Parks are a separate permit track from streets, paid through the Parks customer service center.
- Filming is restricted during the Rose Festival and some holidays under a moratorium; a noise variance is needed outside 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
