Georgia Film Permits
The Georgia Film Office does not issue filming permits — this is done at the municipal level in Georgia. Some entities require permits to shoot on private property and some do not. To inquire about rules, restrictions and permitting for your desired location, contact the county Camera Ready Liaisons or call the appropriate municipality or agency.
