Celina, TX Privacy & Surveillance: Security Camera Rules (2026)

Every residential and multiple-family development shall have, at the minimum, security cameras located at entrances to the community.

(c) Design of amenities.

The design of amenities shall conform to the following:

(1) Entry features shall be constructed entirely on privately owned property (i.e., not within public right-of-way), and shall not suspend over a public right-of-way, unless otherwise approved by a license agreement approved by the city. The primary entry feature, with identifying monument sign and/or other identifying branding or focal point, shall be placed within a separate HOA-owned (i.e. common area) lot within a divided entry access point. An entry feature having a water pond, fountain, or other water feature shall only be allowed if approved by the director of engineering and the fire chief.

(2) No entry feature, other than screening walls or extensions of screening walls, may be constructed on any portion of a single-family, two-family, or townhome lots. All such features shall be constructed on lots that are platted as “non-buildable” common-area lots and dedicated to an HOA for private ownership and maintenance.

(3) Entry features shall not encroach into visibility easements or otherwise impair pedestrian, cyclist or driver visibility.

(4) Private recreation facilities, if provided in a development, shall, to the greatest extent possible, be centrally located within the overall development. (See diagram 10.03.117)
