Colleyville is a home-rule city, so zoning is handled at the city level. The Planning and Zoning Commission approves plans for subdivisions and makes recommendations to the City Council on the rezoning of land and on amendments to the city's development regulations. The City Council gives final approval on zoning changes. Day-to-day administration runs through the city's Community Development Department.

Zoning, subdivision, design, and development standards are combined into a single document called the Land Development Code of the City of Colleyville, Texas. The zoning districts and land-use regulations are found in Chapter 3 (Land Use) of that code. The full Code of Ordinances, including the Land Development Code, is published online through the Municode Library.

Colleyville's Land Development Code establishes several categories of zoning districts, including an agricultural district, single-family residential districts, two-family and multi-family residential districts, commercial districts (such as professional office, neighborhood, and shopping/retail commercial), a light manufacturing district, and Planned Unit Developments (PUD). Each district's permitted uses and standards are set out in Chapter 3 of the Land Development Code.

A property's zoning can be changed only through a public hearing process. Anyone may apply with written permission from the property owner; applications are available from the Community Development Department. Staff and city departments review the application, and property owners within 500 feet of the proposed change are notified of a public hearing. The Planning and Zoning Commission holds a public hearing and votes to approve, deny, or table the request, then forwards a recommendation to the City Council, which makes the final decision.

The Zoning Board of Adjustment hears requests for variances from zoning regulations, hears appeals of administrative decisions made in enforcing the Land Development Code, and can interpret regulations, definitions, and district boundaries where uncertainty exists. After public notice and a public hearing, it may authorize variances in specific cases where the appropriate use of neighboring property will not be substantially or permanently injured. The same members also serve as the Sign Board of Appeals for sign variances.
