Central Oregon Film Office
Oregon offers a host of generous incentive programs to help your bottom line. Our incentive programs rebate:
- 20% of your Oregon-based goods and services
- An additional cash payment of up to 16.2% of wages paid to production personnel
Unlike other states' programs, these incentives are cash rebates as opposed to tax credits. This enables us to deliver you a check quickly and efficiently. Additionally, Oregon's lack of any sales tax on goods and services can immediately save you 7 to 8 percent.
For more information on the CASH rebates Oregon offers, visit Oregon Film.

All productions considering a film incentive rebate must be approved and have a signed contract before beginning principal photography.
Applying: To begin the application process, submit a pre-application or consult with the film office at 303-892-3840. Our funding is limited and therefore projects will be selected on the merits set forth in the application and not on a "first come first served" basis.
