Photography is allowed on Village Property without charge under the following conditions:

1) that the photography and associated activity do not, regardless of duration, unreasonably interfere with usage by other persons and no expectation of private use of photo location is expected;

2) in addition, no one location within a park may be used by the photographer for more than 15 minutes for any of the photographic activities; and

3) in addition, no one park may be used by the photographer for more than an aggregate total of 60 minutes on any single calendar day for any of the photographic activities.

Photographers unable to meet these conditions must apply for a commercial photography/filming permit from the Village of Orland Park, and pay associated permit fees, prior to using or advertising the use of Village Property.

Examples of commercial photography requiring permits include professional portraits, television films or series, student films, independent films, feature films or commercial art or marketing. All permits are subject to compliance with all applicable Village ordinances, conditions and requirements (copies available here). Photography Permit requests must be made a minimum of 15 days in advance of the first requested park use date. The Village shall have at least 10 business day after receiving a permit request to review the application. The Village reserves the right to take additional time to review any application. The Village also reserves the right to approve or deny applications based on capacity and scheduling priorities, and may not approve applications if the proposed use conflicts with other park events, programs or other park users. Submission of an application does not constitute permit approval.
