  Filming outdoors on public property and public rights-of-ways (streets, alleys, and sidewalks).  This includes using private property in conjunctions with public property: $242 + system fees.
• Filming outdoors on solely private property: $80 + system fees. 
• Secondary permits that may be required filming at city parks
• Currently, there is no permit for recreational use of a Drone within the City limits; however, all FAA regulations must be followed. Use of Drones for Film Productions and Special Events are incorporated into those respective permits. Please review these Best Management Practices. In terms of safe operation, the most important factors are that the craft is flown in a space that is clear of bystanders, under 400 feet, and not within two miles of restricted airspace. Anyone that is on the ground under the craft should be involved with the operation of the craft or be made aware of the risk. Please register your Drone and send a copy of the license to the Special Events Coordinator.  
• System Fees include processing, record retention, and system development. This totals $31.90.
