Filming in Newmarket at Old Town Hall.jpg
Filming in Newmarket is regulated under the Town’s Film Bylaw 2023-19

This By-law requires that any person wishing to film within Newmarket obtain a film permit through the Town’s Licensing Division. In addition to the requirement to obtain a film permit, this By-law requires that any person participating in a film project comply with a number of regulations. 

The logistics of obtaining a film permit and coordinating a film project can appear complicated. Please review the Film Handbook that will provide more information to those looking to film in Newmarket, including key aspects to the Town's filming regulations.
