Commercial drone operators in Bergen County must hold FAA Part 107 certification and comply with N.J.S.A. 2C:40-27. The county Parks Department requires special permits for commercial operations on county property, and Teterboro Class D airspace requires LAANC authorization.
Commercial drone work in Bergen County is regulated primarily by FAA Part 107 (14 C.F.R. Part 107), which requires Remote Pilot Certificate, drone registration, daylight or twilight operation with anti-collision lighting, maximum altitude 400 feet AGL, and visual line-of-sight unless waived. New Jersey N.J.S.A. 2C:40-27 prohibits operations interfering with first responders. Substantial portions of southern Bergen County, including Teterboro, Lyndhurst, and parts of Hackensack, fall within Teterboro Airport Class D airspace, requiring LAANC authorization. Commercial operators on Bergen County property must obtain prior Parks Department or facility approval, and many municipalities require additional notification and proof of liability insurance.
FAA Part 107 violations can result in civil penalties up to $32,666 per violation. Operating commercially without authorization on county land may trigger trespass and equipment seizure.
