FILMING ON YOUR PROPERTY

Hosting filming at your property is a great way to support Santa Clarita’s entertainment industry while potentially earning additional income. As a host, you’ll help coordinate between the production company, your neighbors, and the community to ensure a positive experience for everyone.

Hosting Tips:

  • Be a good neighbor and encourage the production company to respect the surrounding community
  • Communicate with neighbors before filming and respond promptly to any concerns
  • Work with the location manager to address parking, HOA approvals, and having minimal impact to neighborhood services such as waste collection and street sweeping
  • Help minimize disruptions, especially during night filming, by discussing potential noise and lighting concerns in advance
  • When appropriate and approved by the production company, invite neighbors to observe filming and meet the crew to foster goodwill
  • If your property is used for filming frequently, consider giving back to your neighborhood by supporting local organizations or hosting a community gathering
  • List your property for free in the City’s Location Library or consider working with a location management company to increase filming opportunities.
  • Before filming begins, verify that the production company has provided:
    • An approved film permit from the Santa Clarita Film Office
    • A certificate of insurance covering use of your property
