Permits & Permissions

 

The Western North Carolina Film Commission does not issue permits but we are here to help you get through that process. All information regarding guidelines for filming on public property, hiring off-duty personnel, fee schedules and other City/County involvement is coordinated directly through local offices or municipal agencies, but our office will put you in touch with the appropriate entities for permitting and securing your locations.

Please contact our office at the earliest stages of pre-production so we can help you make contact with your potential locations. Selected contact information follows.
