Drone & Commercial Photography Forms

 

Below are permit applications for using a drone at a Kentucky State Park and for commercial photography. Completed forms should go to the park manager. Please note: Some Kentucky State Parks are on property controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. If the property is shared by the Corps of Engineers and a drone flies over the property, the client must fill out two  entirely different requests. To learn more about the Corps of Engineers policy click here. Drone applications must be accompanied by a copy of the user license. At this time, the corps also must approve drone use and that process is separate from the state park permit process. Please plan in advance.

 
Commercial Photography
Drone Application
Drone applications must be accompanied by a copy of the user license and proof of insurance. Without these 2 documents the application cannot be processed.
