REQUIREMENTS VARY:
Permit regulations and insurance requirements are not uniform,
but
vary in each municipality in the county. For complete,
up-to-date
information by phone, call the Westchester County
Film Office at (914) 995-2917. If you prefer, the Film Office
will send you a "Guide
to Filming in Westchester," the regularly updated publication
that contains all municipal filming policies.
COUNTY-OWNED PROPERTIES:
Filming on county-owned properties requires a permit and
the
submission of a check for the location fee coordinated
through the Film
Office, 48 hours prior to the shoot date. Both
the fees for the
location and terms of the permit are tailored
to fit the needs and
budget of each production--one size
does NOT fit all!
INSURANCE CERTIFICATE:
Every project must submit an insurance certificate naming
The County of Westchester as Additional Insured and
Certificate Holder at 148 Martine Avenue, White
Plains,
NY 10601. If your project is still photography, the total aggregate insurance amount should be a minimum of one million
dollars; for television commercials, total aggregate
amount should be two million dollars; and for a feature film/television series, a minimum of five million dollars.
