The film permitting process begins when a completed online application and associated permits are submitted. The film review process can take up to five (5) days; however, depending on the details of your production, the process may take longer.
 
If your film project occurs at a location that contains any of the items listed below, a meeting will be required with the event committee which may add another 5 business days for processing:
1) Film prep, filming and clean up lasting more than 3 days.
2) Outdoor filming
3) Full and/or partial lane/street closures
4) Requested variances to any City of Alpharetta Ordinance
 
One film permit can cover up to three film sites over the course of two weeks. Fees will only be taken once the permit is approved. 
 
Please note that contact information provided in this application will be shared with the Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau to assist with cast or crew accommodations.
