Drone / airspace
Commercial drone work requires FAA Part 107; coordinate with the Film Commission 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
- Park filming uses a separate park film permit track.
- The San Antonio Missions are federal NPS jurisdiction and need a separate special-use permit, not a city permit.
Guidance, not legal advice
Rules change and enforcement varies. Confirm with the issuing authority before you shoot. Drone law depth lives at Drone Authority.
