Film location permits in Anaheim, CA — sometimes called film shoot permits, production permits, or filming authorizations — cover commercial photography, video shoots, and motion picture production.
Commercial filming in Anaheim requires a permit through the Anaheim Film Office with proof of insurance, location details, and coordination for major venues like Disneyland and Angel Stadium.
The Anaheim Film Office within the Community Services Department issues film permits for commercial productions including features, TV, commercials, documentaries, reality, still photography, and music videos on public property and on private property that affects the public right of way. Applicants submit a film permit application with the shoot schedule, locations, crew size, equipment, vehicles, and any special effects or stunts. General liability insurance of at least one million dollars naming the City of Anaheim as additional insured is standard, with higher limits for stunts, pyrotechnics, or drones. Applications are generally submitted at least five business days in advance, more for complex shoots. Disneyland Resort, Angel Stadium, Honda Center, and the Anaheim Convention Center are private or separately managed and require direct coordination with those operators in addition to any city permit. Student and non-profit productions may get reduced fees with proper documentation.
