The City of Sonoma does require a Film Permit to be on file prior to any filming/ photo shoots taking place within City limits, this process takes approximately 15 business days to complete. If you are planning on filming within the City limits the City requires a list of specific locations, times, written permission from property owners, insurance coverage, posting/notification to public to be included in your Film Permit. If you have any questions please contact Special Events Manager Lisa Janson 415.259.9458 or lisa@maveneventsllc.com.
