Film Permits
Henderson Municipal Code requires a film permit for all commercial
filming utilizing any public property.
All commercial filming, including still photography and taping in the City
of Henderson, requires a permit issued by the City. Exemptions/Waivers
include films or photographs made:
1. solely for private or family use;
2. for news purposes;
3. for charitable purposes
Additionally, still photography that does not impede/utilize public or
private property (including public streets and rights-of-way) or impede
access to public or private property does not require a film permit.
