The City of Celina is a "Zoned" Community. Zoning regulates various aspects of construction which are typically height, setbacks and usage issues. Please review the following information.

An approved Zoning Permit is required PRIOR to beginning construction.
Your zoning permit application and zoning issues are handled in the Engineering Department which is located at the rear of the Utilities building. If you have any questions concerning the permitting process, planning, sidewalks or zoning please call us at 419-586-1144.

Should you wish to apply for a zoning permit by mail please call ahead  for restrictions and setbacks and meeting schedules. Below you will find forms to download and print. Please choose the proper application for the type of construction being proposed.
