The City of Los Angeles and Film LA announced that the Low Impact Permit Pilot Program will now continue through April 2027, pushing back the original October 31, 2026 expiration date. The pilot reduces permit fees for television, film and other productions, allowing creators to lower their costs.
The extension keeps the reduced‑fee structure in place for several more months, maintaining the city’s effort to make filming more affordable. The program, which had been slated to end at the close of October 2026, will remain active until the new April 2027 deadline.
