The Georgia Film Office does not issue filming permits—this is done at the municipal level in Georgia. Some entities require permits to shoot on private property and some do not. To inquire about rules, restrictions, and permitting for your desired location, contact the county Camera Ready Liaisons or call the appropriate municipality or agency.
The GA Film Permits website has a list of municipalities and agencies that require film permits or have posted filming guidelines (scroll to the bottom for state/federal permits).
For information on filming in the City of Atlanta, visit Film & Entertainment's community engagement website at www.setsouthatl.com or email atlfilm@atlantaga.gov.
