My Resources

HOTELS

  • We offer everything from the most upscale penthouse suites to the economical, yet well-suited rooms. The Film Office will help you find the most for your money with our in-office database of every hotel in the region, based on the size, amenities and price you need. For big projects, we¹ll fax out your bid request and guide you through the maze of returns. If your budget is limited we will assist you with dormitory type housing. With dozens of new hotels in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, we will help you meet any of your housing requirements with a variety of styles, prices and locations.

ROOM TAX

  • After 30 days, one is no longer considered transient, so you get back all 10.5% room tax.

SALES TAX

  • Kentucky’s program entitles eligible motion picture and television production companies to a refund of 6% sales and use tax on expenditures made in connection with the production.

LONGER SHOOT DAYS

  • We are on the far western edge of the Eastern Standard Time Zone. That means the sun sets much later here. In summer months, sunset is around 9:30 pm. More daylight at the time of day you most need it.

PERMIT FEES

  • The City of Cincinnati requires a permit and insurance, but no fee. Some parks and public spaces require minimal fees. The City of Newport requires only a license, and the City of Covington requires a permit and fee. The Film Commission facilitates all communications and meetings regarding permits and street and bridge closure. Just ask us and we’ll take care of everything you’ll need for your particular location.
