Located just 20 minutes south of Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport and 50 minutes from the Gulf Coast, Pearland is an ideal hub-and-spoke basecamp for your production with major brand hotel amenities galore like complimentary Wi-Fi, fitness rooms, pools, breakfast, and more.
The Visit Pearland office offers assistance with special hotel rates for cast and crew by request.
A film permit is required for motion picture, television, web, or commercial production of any kind which includes the use of any public street, road, right-of-way, public facility or public place owned by the City of Pearland, or over which the city has the right of control.
A film permit is not required for any filming at an established fixed place of business within the city. A film permit is also not required for filming or videotaping of persons, scenes, occurrences or events, which are done for news gathering purposes in the general public interest, for use in criminal investigations by law enforcement agencies, or for use in any judicial proceedings.
A film permit is free and can be submitted for consideration here. However, costs incurred with the use of City of Pearland equipment or any assignment of city employees (including Police and Fire personnel) must be reimbursed to the city by the permittee.
A certificate of insurance is required prior to issuance of the film permit.
The certificate of insurance must contain combined single limit coverage for bodily injury and property damage of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000), and basic workers’ compensation insurance as provided in the laws of the state. The certificate shall name the City as additional insured. The City may require additional coverage if it is determined that the risks inherent in the proposed activity, would not be adequately covered, by the basic coverage.
If you would like to host your production at a local business, Pearland resident’s home, or any other private property not owned or operated by the City of Pearland, terms of your use of that property will be managed by the property owner.
Between Pearland’s thriving culinary scene, cozy coffee culture, boutique and antique shops, and spacious taprooms there’s a place for your next shoot at one of Pearland’s unique local businesses.
Need something a little more universal? Pearland has plentiful parks, office space, and a specialized podcast studio curated to both audio and video production needs.

The Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program (TMIIIP) is designed to build the economy through the moving image industry and create jobs in Texas. TMIIIP provides qualifying film, television, commercial, animation, visual effects, video game, extended reality (XR), and other moving image productions the opportunity to receive a cash grant based on a percentage of a project’s eligible Texas expenditures, including eligible wages paid to Texas residents.
Projects may be eligible for multiple additional grants equal to 1% or 2.5% of total in-state spending. The total amount of all grants received by a moving image project may not exceed 31% of the total eligible in-state spending for the project. If applying for an Additional Grant Award(s), the selection(s) must be made on the project application. Additional awards will not be granted retroactively.
Contact Rebekah Burns for recommendations on Pearland locations that could relate to the TMIIIP grants including the Postproduction and Texas Historic Site categories.
