Are local government bodies able to set and enforce their own drone regulations above and beyond the FAA?

Please refer to the state and local fact sheet available on the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) page. Generally, local governments are able to exercise already existing authorities when it comes to drone operations.

Still can't find what you are looking for? Please feel free to contact the UAS Support Center for general questions and comments.
