Movie Ranch Overlay Zone

Santa Clarita was the first city in the 30-mile zone to create and approve a special zoning designation, the Movie Ranch Overlay Zone, that supports filming at local movie ranches.

What Are the Benefits of Filming on a Movie Ranch?

  • Lower permit costs
  • No signature surveys for off hours filming
  • No City notification of filming fliers or fees
  • Expedited permit processing
  • Incredible standing sets and acres of open space
  • Long term projects or large scale set builds
  • Location filming and production related facilities permitted by right

There are currently six movie ranches located within the City’s Movie Ranch Overlay Zone:  Blue Cloud Movie Ranch, Rancho Deluxe, Rancho Maria, Diamond V Ranch, Sable Movie Ranch, and the Santa Clarita Movie Ranch
