The following are Special Filming Conditions for filming in many of the most popularly-filmed neighborhoods in Los Angeles.

These Special Filming Conditions may be included in the terms and conditions of permits issued for filming in these areas, and in that case are in addition to the standard terms and conditions applicable to filming permits generally.

While Special Filming Conditions may be included as terms on permits for filming, they are not intended to, and do not, establish criteria or standards for determining whether or not a particular permit (or permits) will be issued for any area.  Conditions marked with an asterisk* have received official approval from the Los Angeles City Council.

The decision to issue a particular permit is vested in the discretion of the appropriate City or County department or their designees (including FilmL.A., Inc.), to be exercised consistent with public health, safety and general welfare, and applicable land-use ordinances.

Please contact us if you are considering filming in any of these areas. If you are a community member and have questions about conditions that apply in your neighborhood, we’d like to hear from you, too.
