PERMIT FOR STATE PROPERTY

If you are planning to utilize a location that is owned or maintained by the State of Florida for your production, a permit may be required. A State location is any road, park, beach, building, etc. that is not privately owned or governed by a county or municipality. Permitting for these locations is handled through the individual State agency with jurisdiction over the property. Please review the list of State Agencies below for additional information.

PERMIT FOR FEDERAL PROPERTY
