Incentives

Wisconsin is often referred to as America’s Dairyland. Here you will find hundreds of quaint towns across the state that have provided great residential and commercial locations for filming in the past.

Where there aren’t homes and buildings, there are tall pine trees, rivers, and more lakes and marshes in some concentrated areas of the state than anywhere else in the world.

Wisconsin provides viable economic incentives in the film and television industry for both property owners and production companies. Wisconsin tenders a 25% tax credit on both investments in Wisconsin based production, and on expenses from direct production of movies, television, mini-series, advertising, and video games.

There is no permit required for filming in Wisconsin, and any business that makes a capital investment in the state is eligible for a 15% state income tax credit.
