Summary
Greenburgh charges a flat surcharge for any filming permit that involves closing a road. Section 348-8's fee schedule, amended October 22, 2025, adds $1,000 per occurrence of a road closure or overnight filming on top of the base per-day license fee, whether the production is a commercial, an agency ad or a feature film.
Additional fee of $1,000 per each occurrence of a road closure or overnight/filming.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: rev 4570580; v39 updated 2025-10-22; through 10-22-2025).
Full Breakdown
Every filming license issued under Chapter 348 carries a base fee set on the table in Section 348-8: $0 for student productions, $250 to $500 for public-service or not-for-profit teaching work depending on whether the property is private or public, and $2,500 for agency advertising or feature film, television and video productions on either private or public property. " A production that needs to shut down a Greenburgh street, or that films overnight, pays this surcharge in addition to its base license fee, and the surcharge applies per occurrence, so a multi-day shoot with repeated closures accumulates the charge each time.
The Town Clerk sets the underlying licensing conditions for any closure through Section 348-3, which lets the Clerk require a use plan detailing days and hours, and Section 348-3F separately lets the Clerk require the production to pay for Town police officers at overtime rates when a closure or crowd-control need arises. The road-closure surcharge was added in the October 22, 2025 amendment by Local Law No. 6-2025, which restructured the entire fee table; earlier versions of Chapter 348 did not carry this line item, so productions filing under the current schedule should expect it whenever their use plan includes shutting down a street or working past normal hours.
Violations & Fines
Failing to pay the required fees, including the $1,000 per-occurrence road-closure surcharge, before filming is treated the same as filming without a license under Section 348-6: a fine of not less than $500 per offense, up to 15 days' imprisonment, or both, with each day of the violation a separate offense.
