Filming & Photography Permit Application
Commercial photographers, video production or film companies must complete a permit application to use Arizona State Parks as a location. Download the Permit Application and email the completed form to pio@azstateparks.gov. Personal photography permits are no longer required - this includes engagement, family photos, and graduations.
To learn more about filming in Arizona, visit Arizona Office of Film & Digital Media at www.GoFilmAZ.com.
You will be notified when the permit application is approved. A special-use permit may also be required, which is managed by the parks directly. There is a $1 million insurance certificate required. Please allow up to 30 days for the completion of the permit application and permit process. We will do our best to approve small, low impact requests quickly.
Permission for Use of Pictorial Images
All requests to reproduce photographic images from the Arizona State Parks and Trails collections must be emailed to: pio@azstateparks.gov.
Seed Collection and Plant Gathering
Arizona State Parks and Trails (ASPT) is partnering with indigenous tribes to support traditional cultural gathering within state lands. ASPT acknowledges that tribal seed collecting and plant gathering serve to maintain tribal sovereignty by preserving traditional crop varieties and culturally significant native plants and to acquire natural resources for traditional sustenance, medical needs, and cultural and ceremonial purposes. Fill out the Seed Collection and Plant Gathering form.
