Riverside County, CA Filming & Production: Street Closures (2026)

16 (Commercial Filming) requires a permit from the issuing authority, the county executive officer or designee, before anyone uses public or private property, a facility or a residence in the unincorporated area for commercial motion pictures, television, commercials, electronic media or commercial still photography. 030 charges no fee for the permit itself and waives any business-license requirement given the temporary nature of film work, but it lets the county attach whatever terms and conditions on 'the time, place and manner of utilizing county roads or other property' are necessary and appropriate, which is where street-closure conditions, lane restrictions, traffic control staffing and timing windows get imposed case by case.

030(C) lets the issuing authority move the date on reasonable advance notice without a new application. 050 caps on-location filming on county-controlled property at ten consecutive days per production (excluding strike and preparation time), with CEO discretion to extend. 040. 080 lets the issuing authority set rules on public-property use, filming hours and security deposits, and it waives transient occupancy tax for production-related stays for 48 months from the chapter's adoption.
