The Jacksonville Film & Television Office will manage the new programs passed by city council.

The first is the Jacksonville Film & Television Program. It's a rebate program structured to attract high-wage film and television production opportunities to the city and has two tiers.

• Tier one offers a 15% rebate for $400,000 minimum qualified expenditures in Duval County, capped at $149,999.
• Tier two offers a 20% rebate for $1,000,000 minimum qualified expenditures in Duval County, capped at $400,000.

The second is the Jacksonville Commercial Production Program. It's also a rebate program that's intended to attract high-impact television commercials.

The third program is the Jacksonville Fostering Filmmakers Grant Program. It aims to help up to three independent filmmakers in Jacksonville by assisting with partial funding.
