What is a filming permit?       

Filming permits are permits issued by governments to allow the filming of motion pictures. Every city and state has some sort of council or office that handles filming permits.

Permits are issued prior to the shooting with details about location, date, time, equipment, personnel, special effects, actions and stunts.

Sometimes this process is handled directly by the city, and sometimes it is handled by a non-profit organization such as Film L.A. in Los Angeles. In addition, each state may have its own permitting commission for state land. The process of film permitting can often make it difficult for independent and amateur filmmakers.
