Do you have to file papers with the city if you want to shoot porn in your house?

If I were to shoot some content and sell it... does the city have to know? I want to make sure I'm doing it right...if I ever do it.

That's an interesting question.

I would reckon what you do in your house is your business, yet there may be zoning issues.

Doesn't involve chemicals or other dangerous articles ( what are the cops gonna say? Assault with a deadly dildo? )

It all depends on if there are minors in the house I would gather.

There's a legal site with porn issues on it. I can't recall the URL though.

best bet is to get a good lawyer. better safe than sorry, laws vary from city to city.

as i recall PhotoGregg had some issue with this last year before miami internext... something about running a commercial biz in a residential area... i think

then again, some parts of FLA are psycho-strict... i even think oral sex is illegal there in some counties... LOL

Only advise that matters.

You have to have a license in LA and Palm Springs, or did when I worked there a few decades ago. :1orglaugh

Are you looking at shooting some content or producing content from your house.

If you r just gonna do a quick shoot...tell em nothing

u need a permit/license in L.A. but i don't think many abide by it or the city doesn't enforce it, too much work to keep track of all the porn being shot in homes in L.A.

You have to tell your neighbours, thats for sure and dont forget to tell the Gambino family. Other then that, youre ok.

I guess there ain't anything bad about it, unless of course there are kids lurking somewhere!

Thanks for all of the replies.

I think that if I decide to shoot my own content...I'll check with a lawyer.

I wonder what type of lawyer would handle something like that? :)

Just don't call the city and ask. Or allow the lawyer to do this.

There are so many bylaws that can be used to harass you, and you don't want to risk a fundie becoming aware of what you are doing.

If what you are shooting is entirely indoors, don't worry about it. Just shoot it.
