Before you file in Celina

Sign rules follow land use, not zoningCelina's sign code sorts property by its current use (commercial, multifamily, or low-density residential), not by zoning district, and applies in the city's ETJ too. Pick the land use category that matches the property.
Planned developments, special districts and agreementsCelina's sign code says sign rules in a special zoning district (such as downtown or a commercial corridor), a planned development, a specific use permit or a development agreement approved by the city council take precedence over the general sign code. Check the zoning ordinance for the property (PD#, DTC, DNTO, CCOLO on the map).

Not legal advice. The city has the final say. Planned developments, master sign plans and special sign districts can override the general sign code. Check the linked section before you file.
