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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the $1,000 fee apply once per production or per closure?
Per occurrence. Section 348-8 charges the additional $1,000 "per each occurrence of a road closure or overnight/filming," so a production that closes the same street on multiple days pays the surcharge each time.
Is the road-closure fee separate from the base filming license fee?
Yes. It stacks on top of whichever base rate applies under Section 348-8, whether that is the $0 student rate, the $250 to $500 public-service rate, or the $2,500 rate for agency advertising and feature productions.
Who decides whether a Greenburgh filming permit can close a street?
The Town Clerk, who reviews the use plan required under Section 348-3B and can consult the Chief of Police, Building Inspector and Commissioner of Public Works before approving any street closure and setting the hours it can run.
