Application for Commercial Filming in the City of Paris
Submit a location for filming
Production crews are often looking for a variety of locations for filming. Locations range from nice, aesthetically pleasing areas to rough, unimproved sites. Films and commercials may call for ranches or farmland, abandoned buildings, newly constructed homes, and older or historic homes, commercial business locations, offices, warehouses or industrial sites.
To submit a location for consideration, you should be the owner or representative who can decide to allow production at the property. By adding a property to the list, you are not committing to use by a production company. If your location is selected, the production company will try to negotiate an agreement with you before any production scheduling.
Complete this form if you would like us to help submit a filming location to be consider for inclusion in the Paris / Lamar County database for you, or you can submit your properties directly.
