Can I run a home business in Celina?
Yes, without a City permit, as long as it stays within the home occupation conditions of Sec. 14.03.401(f): no signage visible from outside the dwelling, no more than 2 non-relative employees on site, outdoor activity only if screened and limited to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., no exterior storage of materials or equipment, no fleet vehicle operation (3 or more business vehicles), no offensive noise, smoke, dust, odor, heat, or glare beyond the property line, no major exterior alterations, no vehicle or equipment repair, and no on-premises merchandise sales beyond homegrown produce or pre-ordered items. Start by confirming the zoning district on the city's public GIS (celina-public-gis-celinatx.hub.arcgis.com) or with Development Services at 972-382-2682. This pack covers incorporated Celina only; Celina's ETJ and unincorporated Collin or Denton county land have no municipal zoning.
