Summary
Shutting down a public street or right-of-way for filming in Taylor costs $50 per day for a total closure and $25 per day for a partial closure or obstruction, including any closed parking lots or on-street parking. These closure charges sit inside the same Film Production Fees line of the city's Appendix B fee schedule that also covers location-use fees.

Full Breakdown
Item 4 of Section 6, Miscellaneous, in the city's Fee Schedule for City Services breaks film-related right-of-way charges into two tiers. Subitem D covers a total closure or obstruction of a public street or right-of-way, including parking lots and on-street parking, at $50 per day. Subitem E covers a partial closure or obstruction of the same kinds of property, again including parking lots and on-street parking, at $25 per day. Both charges are separate from, and stack on top of, the base $25-per-day Film Application Fee and any location-use charge for the property itself (subitems A through C).
A production that both closes a block of a public street and occupies a city park, for example, would owe the application fee, the location-use fee, and the street-closure fee together. The city treats parking lots and on-street parking spaces the same as travel lanes for this purpose, so blocking a public parking lot for equipment staging triggers the same per-day closure charge as blocking a driving lane. These rates were set with the rest of the fee schedule under Ordinance No. 2025-23, Section 2, adopted October 23, 2025, and like the rest of Appendix B they apply uniformly across departments rather than being negotiated case by case.
Violations & Fines
Nothing in the fee schedule criminalizes closing a street without paying these charges or obtaining approval first. Because no closure-specific penalty is written into Appendix B, an unauthorized closure falls back on the Code's general penalty in Section 1-8: a fine of up to $200.00, with each day the unpermitted closure continues counted as a separate offense.
