Please be advised that some client jurisdictions served by FilmLA will be implementing service pricing increases effective July 1. These changes are set by the jurisdictions themselves and are not determined or controlled by FilmLA.
To provide context, FilmLA fees for service represent approximately 40 percent of the total cost of film permits and related services. The remaining 60 percent of costs are determined by our government clients.
Although FilmLA’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year is still pending a vote by our Board of Directors in June, FilmLA does not anticipate any increase in its service fees for Fiscal Year 2025/2026.
We continue to work closely with our government partners and always encourage clients to keep costs as low as possible for the industry. At this time, several jurisdictions — including the City of Los Angeles, Fullerton, Industry, Lancaster, La Habra Heights, South Gate and Vernon have confirmed that they will maintain their current pricing.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the affected jurisdictions with new pricing information. Some jurisdictions have not yet sent their finalized fees. This list will be updated with new information as soon as it becomes available.
As always, our Solution Services team is standing by, ready to assist with any questions and can be reached at 213.977.8600 and info@filmla.com.
