20% base, up to 38% with uplifts of $1,000,000

A starting point, not a bankable figure. The low end is the rate a production can count on; the high end needs every uplift stacked. It does not model tiers, per-project or annual caps, above- and below-the-line splits, or residency rules. Confirm the number that applies to your production with the film office.

Program detail

  • A 20% base rebate under the Filmed in Oklahoma Act of 2021, rising to 38% by stacking uplifts.
  • Uplifts: 3% for filming 25% of days in a county under 250,000 people, 2% for a municipality under 25,000, and 5% for filming 25% at a certified soundstage (which also requires 3% of direct expenditure at that facility).
  • Final applications are due within 90 days of production completion, or of the last qualified expenditure if later.
  • The program runs on fixed application deadlines with awards issued for a defined filming window rather than rolling approval.

Incentive terms change with legislation. Verify current rates, caps, and eligibility with the film office before committing a budget. Last checked 2026-07-23.
