Permits are issued on an individual basis and there is a $100.00 non-refundable application processing fee per permit. The cost of location and monitoring fees depend on the size and complexity of the project. For further information, email Pam Neil or visit the NPS Commercial Filming and Still Photography Permits page.

Individuals with a private camera for home use are not required to have a film permit.
