Film Permits
It is always best to contact the Vallejo/Solano County Film Office by calling (707) 642-3653 for the best possible guidance throughout the process of securing city, county, or state permits in Solano County.
General Requirements: Most city, county, and state governmental agencies require the following documentation in order to secure a permit:
- Sufficient Time: Please allow sufficient time to prepare the paperwork, review the locations, arrange for personnel needed and to issue the permit. Please realize that most of the agencies issuing permits have many other duties and while they are quite cooperative, this is not their only function.
- Certificate of Insurance: Proof of insurance which additionally insures the municipality in which you are working, with limits ranging from $1 million to $5 million, depending upon the perceived risk level of your project. The normal requirement is $1 million.
- Written Location Breakdown: Include dates, times, planned rain dates, parking requirements, and other arrangements needed by your company. You may be required to canvass the areas of filming to obtain signatures from merchants, residents, and property owners affected.
- Payment: Payment for your permit needs to be submitted prior to filming and issuance of your permit in most cases.
We understand that filming details often change at the last minute but filing a permit early allows time to make necessary contacts and makes filming a smoother process for all concerned.
