Permits

The State of North Carolina charges minimal, if any, fees to shoot on available state property such as government buildings in the Raleigh area and across the area, as well as beaches, parks, lakes, historical sites, and other recreational areas. There could be fees if additional assistance is needed in the way of park personnel and law enforcement, varying by region.

The North Carolina Film Office is not a permitting agency, however we will assist you in obtaining permits. Permitting in North Carolina is generally an easy process and is handled differently by each government agency and individual jurisdiction. Use the navigation bar on the left to choose the type of permit you are seeking.

Please contact the staff with any questions and/or assistance.
