The Miami-Dade County Office of Film & Entertainment is open for business and issuing film/photo permits!
All productions must follow the “New Normal” guidelines and practice safety protocols on set.
See specific requirements for hair and makeup departments on film/photo sets
Miami-Dade County currently has a county-wide curfews in effect. Please check with office staff as they are everchanging.
In an abundance of caution, to assist industry stakeholders shooting their projects on private property we are requesting all productions to register with our office (whether a permit is required or not). There are two reasons for this request: to show our industry is contributing to the economic recovery of the community and alleviating concerns from the public. It’s better that any issues are addressed through our office as opposed to Miami-Dade Police or code enforcement.
The Office of Film & Entertainment is operating at normal capacity but currently is closed for in-person meetings.
For assistance, as always, we may be contacted at 305-375-3288.
