filming in New Mexico

Permitting

Filming in New Mexico is generally straightforward with only basic permits needed (depending where you are within the state). The exception would be any federal land as that can take some time for processing. Expect to have permits based on the city/county you're in, as well as potential permits from NMDOT if on their roadways. Below are some resources for filming within the state you may find helpful!
