Film and video permits
Customer Advisory (COVID-19)
Washington County Department of Land Use & Transportation is authorizing Film and Video permits. Participants are expected to follow all local and state laws and guidelines, including those related to COVID-19.
Washington County Operations and Maintenance Division process permits for events such as filming/video, walk/bike races, parades and block parties.
The preferred processing time for film and video permits is four weeks. However, we understand that production timelines are often much shorter and we will allow film and video permit applications to be submitted two weeks in advance. The process remains the same and this is not a guarantee of approval; it is however, intended to provide some ease for those applying with less than a four-week timeline.
