Permitting
If your production company wishes to begin a feature or
independent film project, commercial, television series or other
related project that affects city, county or state property,
equipment or facilities, you are required to obtain a permit from
the Metro Orlando, Florida film office. You
should also obtain a permit if your production is taking place on
private property and involves production vehicles parking on the
street, the use of a tent or other temporary structure, the use of
pyrotechnics and other explosives including firearms or involves
stunts of any kind.
The Metro Orlando Film and Entertainment Commission makes
permitting a one-stop shop for production companies. The Orlando,
Florida film
office acts as a liaison between production companies
and the city, county or state to find the services they require for
their production. In most cases, there are no processing fees to
obtain permits in the Metro Orlando area unless certain services
are required.
Incentives
Recently, the State of Florida passed a film and entertainment
incentive which went into effect on July 1, 2010. The

office of Orlando makes applying for this incentive
easy for most production companies. The appropriation provided in
past years has been replaced by a new entertainment industry tax
program totaling $242 million over the next five years. Qualified
film projects will receive a 20 percent to 30 percent back for
qualified Florida expenditures.
