Location Release Agreement Form

Get written permission to film at a property, capturing the owner’s grant of rights, dates and any restrictions with a signature.

Description

Filming at a property needs the owner’s clear permission, and a signed release is what protects the production later. This location release agreement form captures that consent in writing, so you have documented rights to use the footage without disputes down the line.

It records the property and its address, the production title and company, and the filming dates, along with any restrictions on how the property may be used. The owner grants permission to film interior and exterior, then signs as the authorized signatory to make the release binding.

Share the link with property owners so releases are signed before the crew arrives. A documented grant of rights keeps your production legally clear. Customize the terms, add your branding, and embed it on your site or share a link in minutes.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Location Release Agreement Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a location release agreement form?

A location release agreement form captures a property owner’s written permission to film on their premises, recording the location, dates, any restrictions and a signature. It gives the production documented rights to use the footage, so a location can’t later dispute how the material is used.

What should a location release form include?

This form records the property and its address, the production title and company, and the filming dates, along with any restrictions on use of the property. It captures the owner’s grant of permission to film interior and exterior, the authorized signatory’s details, and a signature.

When should a location release be signed?

Before filming begins, ideally when the location is confirmed. Getting the release signed in advance means the production has documented rights from day one, avoids awkward negotiations once the crew is on site, and protects the footage from any later challenge over permission.

Who signs a location release agreement form?

The property owner or an authorized signatory who can grant filming rights, on behalf of the production. The form captures their permission and any conditions, so both sides are clear on what was agreed before the crew arrives and cameras start rolling.

Why capture restrictions on how a property is used?

Because owners often grant filming subject to conditions. Recording restrictions up front — rooms that are off-limits, no signage changes, or how the property may be depicted — means the production knows the boundaries and the owner’s agreement is honored on the day.

Is this location release template free to use?

Yes, completely free. Add or remove fields, adjust the terms to match your production, and restyle it to your brand, then embed it on your site or share a link — no coding needed. A free Fun Forms account lets you collect signed releases.
