Headline rate, caps, minimum spend, payroll fringe, and the official film office for Florida. Reference data for producers, line producers, and financiers structuring a Florida shoot.

Florida has had no active statewide film incentive program since 2016, when the legislature declined to reauthorize the previous tax credit. Periodic legislative efforts to reinstate a program have not advanced, though local programs remain active. Miami-Dade County and the City of Fort Lauderdale both offer location-based rebates and production support services. Florida's deep talent pool, year-round production weather, and established stage infrastructure in the Miami and Orlando areas continue to attract productions that can absorb the absence of a state-level incentive.
The questions producers ask first when sizing a Florida shoot, answered against the state's current program structure and fringe environment.
Headline rate is the start, not the end. Compare Florida side-by-side with every other U.S. jurisdiction on caps, minimum spend, refundability, and fringe before locking the location.
