Filming in Austin
What to know before you shoot in Austin
Filming permits and public-space rules
Austin says plainly that it has no universal film permit. What it has is a set of permits tied to places. The one you are most likely to meet is the right-of-way permit, and it is wider than people expect. It applies to filmmaking on or affecting streets, sidewalks, alleys and parking lanes, and the city specifically includes b-roll, still photography and student shoots, as well as anything that blocks or reroutes traffic. So a photographer on a downtown pavement is on the list here, even if a similar shoot would not be elsewhere.
City parks go through Austin Parks and Recreation's Special Events Office, and the Public Library has its own film and photography page. Filming at the airport is temporarily on hold because of facility and staffing constraints, which rules out an arrivals shot at the terminal for now unless the airport tells you otherwise. Check before you plan one.
If you are unsure which applies, the city's creative industries ombudsman at film@austintexas.gov or 512-974-1000 will confirm what your production needs, which is quicker than guessing.
- Police (APD) application: at least 5 business days before filming.
- Commercial or mobile film permit: at least 3 business days before filming.
- Required with the application: a site plan with an overhead view, APD approval and a certificate of insurance. Non-mobile filming also needs property notification signoffs and a notarised notification record.
- One application per shoot covering all locations, with a separate application for b-roll. The city asks for road segments rather than addresses.
- Fees change each fiscal year, so ask TPWFilmPermits@austintexas.gov or 512-974-6501 for the current amounts.
Drone rules
We did not find a current official city page setting out drone rules for filming in Austin, and secondary websites disagree about what applies in parks. So we leave those claims out. Before planning an aerial, ask the ombudsman's office and Parks and Recreation in writing.
What is firm is federal. Commercial flying falls under the FAA's Part 107, which requires a remote pilot certificate and prior air traffic control authorisation in controlled airspace. Drones that must be registered must also comply with the Remote ID rule, and altitude is limited to 400 feet above ground level, with an exception close to structures.
Crowds are where festival-season plans fall over. Under the Category 3 rules, a drone may not fly over open-air assemblies of people, and it may only fly above people in limited circumstances, such as a closed or restricted-access site where everyone inside has been told. Since a takeoff point on a street or sidewalk may also bring the right-of-way permit into play, raise the launch location when you apply.
The business event calendar and districts
The big fact about Austin's event scene is a building that is not there. The Austin Convention Center closed in April 2025 for a rebuild of about $1.6 billion, with the new centre expected to open in early 2029, ahead of SXSW that year. Check for updates, since that timing dates from 2025 reporting.
Until then, business events have moved into hotels and off-site spaces. Trade press describes clusters such as the Red River group of the Fairmont and Hotel Van Zandt, and a Marriott group of the JW Marriott and Austin Marriott Downtown, with some groups splitting sessions across hotels. For a crew, this means more ballrooms and short walks, rather than one big hall and one loading dock.
SXSW remains the anchor, in March 2027, and has moved towards a spread-out, hub-based format across downtown. For 2027 the organisers have announced a new Podcast Festival on 17 to 20 March, along with new hubs at hotels including The Thompson and The Westin. If you are making podcast or founder content, this is directly relevant, and it is worth pinning down which hub your speaker is in early, since the map has changed two years running.
Practical logistics
With no convention centre, the permissions you need change. Instead of a single exhibitor manual, you are likely to be dealing with a hotel's events team, an organiser's media desk and possibly a street permit. Ask each hotel about power, internet, where kit can be stored and when a room is free for a quick portrait set. Labour rules can differ between these hotels, so ask each venue.
Reserving public parking for a shoot on private property also goes through the right-of-way office, so a company filming at its own offices may still need a parking permit if a van needs a kerbside space.
During SXSW, plan on moving kit on foot between nearby hubs where you can, and leave more time for each move than the map suggests.
Confirm all of this with the city's film contacts, the FAA and the event organiser before a shoot. Rules change, and in Austin venues are changing too.
Rules change, so confirm them before you shoot. Sources:
- City of Austin: film production city permits
- Austin Transportation and Public Works: Office of Special Events
