Summary

When a film production closes or obstructs a public street in the City of Hutto, Appendix A § A8.001(d) of the Code of Ordinances charges $50.00 per block per day for a total closure and $25.00 per block per day for a partial closure or obstruction, on top of the $500.00 base film application fee.

§ A8.001. Miscellaneous fees. ... (d) Film application fee: $500.00. ... (3) Total closure or obstruction of public street or right-of-way, including parking lots and on-street parking: $50.00 per block per day. (4) Partial closure or obstruction of a public street or right-of-way, including parking lots and on-street parking: $25.00 per block per day.

Full Breakdown

Hutto prices street and right-of-way closures for filming separately from the general location-use fees in the same fee-schedule section, Appendix A § A8.001(d). Paragraph (3) sets the rate for total closure or obstruction of public street or right-of-way, including parking lots and on-street parking, at $50.00 per block per day. Paragraph (4) sets a lower rate, $25.00 per block per day, for partial closure or obstruction of the same street, right-of-way, parking lot or on-street parking area. Both fees are charged per block, so a production closing three blocks for a full day would pay $150.00 under paragraph (3), or $75.00 if the closure is only partial under paragraph (4).

These per-block, per-day charges are added to the flat $500.00 film application fee required under § A8.001(d) and to whichever public-property use fee under paragraphs (1) or (2) applies to the shoot. Paragraph (5) separately charges $50.00 per block or lot per day for using city parking lots and streets to park film trailers, buses, catering trucks and other large support vehicles, a fee that applies regardless of whether the street itself is closed. The Code of Ordinances routes filming applications through the same city process used for special event and street closure permits under the same Article A8.000.

Violations & Fines

Closing or obstructing a Hutto street or right-of-way for filming without paying the required fees or obtaining permission is not given a stand-alone penalty in Appendix A. It is instead enforced under the code's general penalty, § 1.01.009(a), which caps the fine at $500.00 per violation, and § 1.01.009(f), which makes each day the unauthorized closure continues a separate offense.
