FAA Part 107 Requirements
All commercial drone operations in Georgia require the pilot to hold an active FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate. Our network operators are verified Part 107 holders.
State Drone Laws
Georgia regulates drone operations through SB 465 (2019), which prohibits drone surveillance of private property without consent, restricts flights over critical infrastructure, and bans interference with law enforcement and emergency operations. Commercial drone operators must hold a valid FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate and obtain LAANC authorization for controlled airspace near airports. Georgia does not require a separate state drone license. Local governments may regulate takeoff and landing on public property. Military restricted airspace around Fort Moore, Fort Gordon, Hunter Army Airfield, and Robins AFB is federally enforced and supersedes state regulations. Atlanta requires permits for drone operations in city parks, and Savannah requires a film permit for commercial drone work in the historic district.
Local Ordinances
Suwanee does not have a city-specific drone ordinance. Commercial operators follow Georgia SB 465 and FAA Part 107. A Gwinnett County business license is required. Suwanee is primarily in uncontrolled Class G airspace north of the LZU Briscoe Field Class D boundary, though the eastern edge may require LAANC authorization. The Chattahoochee River NRA is nearby with NPS drone prohibitions on takeoff and landing. Suwanee Creek Park and the Greenway have no formal restrictions, but Part 107 rules for operations over people apply during high recreational use. Georgia SB 465 privacy provisions apply to flights over residential master-planned communities like Rivermill and Mason Farm.
Restricted Airspace
- Suwanee is north of the LZU Class D airspace boundary. Most of the city is in uncontrolled Class G airspace, but the eastern edge near Briscoe Field may require LAANC authorization depending on exact location. Always check the current airspace chart.
- The nearby Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area runs along the western edge of Gwinnett County. NPS drone prohibitions apply to takeoff and landing on NPS-managed riverbank property.
- Suwanee Creek Park and the Suwanee Creek Greenway have no formal drone restrictions, but Part 107 rules for operations over people apply during heavy recreational use on weekends.
- The McGinnis Ferry Road corridor and Satellite Boulevard industrial areas have no formal drone restrictions, but heavy vehicle traffic and warehouse operations require caution under Part 107.

Suwanee, GA Aerial Imaging FAQs
Can I fly a drone near the Suwanee Town Center?
Suwanee Town Center has no formal drone restrictions, but it has heavy pedestrian traffic during events and festivals. Commercial operations should follow Part 107 rules for operations over people and vehicles. The area is in uncontrolled Class G airspace, so no LAANC authorization is typically required, but always check the current airspace chart before flying.
Do I need LAANC authorization to fly a drone in Suwanee?
Most of Suwanee is in uncontrolled Class G airspace north of the LZU Briscoe Field Class D boundary. However, the eastern edge of the city near Briscoe Field may be within the Class D lateral boundary and require LAANC authorization. Always check the current airspace chart for your specific flight location before operating.
Are there drone restrictions near Suwanee Creek Park?
Suwanee Creek Park and the Suwanee Creek Greenway have no formal drone restrictions. However, Part 107 rules for operations over people apply during heavy recreational use on weekends. The park has heavy foot and bicycle traffic on the Greenway trail system. Launch from a less congested area and maintain visual line of sight at all times.
What drone services are most in demand in Suwanee?
Master-planned community construction monitoring for Rivermill and Mason Farm, Satellite Boulevard industrial warehouse inspections, Suwanee Town Center mixed-use development documentation, Moore Road residential site data collection projects, and Peachtree Industrial Boulevard commercial real estate photography are the main demand drivers.
What is the cost of a drone roof inspection in Suwanee?
Drone roof inspections in Suwanee typically cost $300 to $1,200 depending on roof size, pitch, and complexity. Commercial roof inspections for retail and warehouse buildings along the Satellite Boulevard corridor may run higher due to larger building footprints.
Can I fly a drone over the Rivermill community?
Rivermill is a private residential master-planned community. Georgia SB 465 prohibits drone surveillance of private property without consent. Commercial photography and real estate work should obtain permission from the property owner or HOA. Flying over private residential property without consent may violate state privacy law in addition to FAA regulations.
