Permit note

Some parks in Pinellas County have filming and commercial photography rules. Pinellas County lists situations where a film permit is required, and also situations where it is not required, depending on the shoot setup and impact.
For Florida state parks, there is a formal photography permit application, and the park manager may require a fee and proof of liability insurance depending on circumstances.

If your chosen location requires a permit or fee, the client is responsible for securing it. I am happy to point you to the right link.
