Kenner, LA Filming & Production: Street Closures (2026)

Sec. 10-251(b) sets the criteria the director of inspection and code enforcement uses before issuing a filming permit, including that the activity will not unduly interfere with traffic or pedestrian movement, will not endanger public safety, and will not leave any street completely closed to traffic for an unreasonable period of time. Within that same finding, the section requires that 48 hours' notice of any street closure be given before it happens. That requirement is layered on top of the general filming permit application in Sec.

10-249 and the standard filing deadlines in Sec. 10-251(a), which shorten to five days' advance notice whenever the proposed activity will interfere with traffic. The director can also require the filming company to coordinate with the public works and police departments, whose own requirements about routing and street access become conditions of the permit (Sec. 10-251(a)). Separately, before a permit issues for filming affecting a location, the film company must notify affected residents, occupants, and businesses of the duration and location of filming, including any planned road or lane closures (Sec. 10-253(b)).
