Full Breakdown
Henderson Municipal Code § 8.10.025 requires a special events permit for any commercial filming that uses public property, roadways or right-of-way anywhere in the city: closing a street for a shoot falls squarely under this rule. Filmmakers apply to the Henderson Police Department 30 to 180 days ahead, pay a nonrefundable $125 processing fee, and if the shoot blocks streets or sidewalks, cover the cost of barricades and any off-duty officers the department requires. Skipping the permit for public-property filming is a misdemeanor under section 8.10.025(B).
Violations & Fines
Filming on Henderson streets or right-of-way without a special events permit is a misdemeanor under section 8.10.025(B); each violation can be charged separately.
