Kissimmee, FL Filming & Production: Street Closures (2026)

00 coverage for any pyrotechnics or explosives, planned use of city equipment, a summary of the portion to be filmed in the city, the number of vehicles, equipment, and personnel on location, an agreement to cover extraordinary city service costs, certification that affected property owners and the economic development council's film liaison have been notified, written consent from any private property owners involved, and a certification that the production is not pornographic as the article defines that term. Applications must be filed under oath between five working days and 180 days before production starts (§ 10-216(a)).

The city manager or a designee acts as the city's permitting agent, reviews and approves applications through the communications and public affairs office, and once a permit issues no other city permit is required for the production (§§ 10-212, 10-214, 10-217(a)). Section 10-218 lets the city recover direct costs for "extraordinary services," meaning personnel or equipment committed outside the normal scope of government service, such as police officers assigned to manage a street closure; the city can require prepayment of estimated costs and settles up against actual costs when the production wraps.

Failing to comply with the terms of an issued permit, including an approved street closure plan, is grounds for immediate oral suspension followed by a written order, and continued noncompliance can lead to revocation, both carried out by the city manager or a designee under § 10-215(b).
