Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to close a street in Carrollton for filming?
The Comprehensive Fee Schedule charges $50.00 per block, per calendar day, for a total closure or obstruction of a public street or right-of-way, including parking lots and on-street parking, for filming purposes, under Section 31.01(M). A partial closure or obstruction of the same street costs $25.00 per block, per calendar day.
Can a film crew park trailers and catering trucks on Carrollton streets?
Yes, but it costs $50.00 per block or lot, per calendar day, under Section 31.01(M), which prices the use of city parking lots, parking areas, and city streets for parking film trailers, buses, catering trucks, and other large vehicles separately from the street-closure fee itself.
Is the street closure fee on top of the film permit fee?
Yes. The $50.00 or $25.00 per-block, per-day closure fee is billed in addition to the $25.00 Film permit application fee and the separate $25.00 administrative processing fee the fee schedule applies to film permits, so a multi-block, multi-day closure adds up beyond the base application cost.
