Historic shops and restaurants around the downtown square, and new neighborhoods across the city. McKinney customers like knowing who they’re buying from, so we put your people and your place on camera.
McKinney has a city film permit with a real lead time, and the downtown square mixes private shops with public sidewalks. A little planning keeps the date safe.
Apply 15 days ahead
McKinney’s film permit application has to be in at least 15 days before filming, with a $25 fee, insurance naming the city and at least 48 hours’ written notice to adjoining property owners or occupants. City of McKinney filming permit
The square: inside vs. outside
A scene inside a shop is a property question; the sidewalk out front can be a city one. We sort each space before the shoot. McKinney shoot planning
Parks and trails first
For a shoot in a city park or on a trail, McKinney asks you to email Parks before applying. We do that early so the date doesn’t slip.
McKinney National Airport
McKinney National Airport (TKI) is a participating LAANC facility, so flights near it can get FAA authorization through LAANC. Every flight still gets an address-level check. McKinney drone rules
Checked against the official pages linked above in October 2026. Rules change, so we confirm the current process for your exact address before the shoot. Planning information, not legal advice.

Questions
Questions for McKinney businesses.
Scope, places and timing, answered before the shoot.
No. There is no local travel surcharge anywhere in our service area, McKinney included.
Do we need a city permit for our shoot?
McKinney’s film permit application asks for at least 15 days’ notice. Property permission and city approval are separate checks; we confirm the permit process for your plan, including any public sidewalks or parks, before setting the date.
Can you film on the downtown square?
Yes, with the right approvals. We confirm the shop owner’s permission and the city’s permit requirements, including any sidewalks or public spaces, before setting the date.
Do you have a studio in McKinney?
We don’t run a public studio. We film at your business or an agreed venue, because that’s what your customers want to see.
How soon can we start?
A first monthly shoot is usually within 7 days of signing, at your business. A shoot that needs a city or venue approval follows that approval’s timeline.
