Chandler ADUs may be rented for long-term and short-term stays. Ariz. Rev. Stat. section 9-461.18 prohibits Chandler from banning short-term rental of ADUs as a category. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) must be licensed under Chandler City Code Chapter 22, with mandatory neighbor notification, an emergency contact, and a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license. License fees are capped at $250 per state law.
Long-term rental (30 days or more) of Chandler ADUs is permitted with no city-imposed cap on occupants beyond the building code occupancy load. Short-term rentals (under 30 days) are regulated under Chapter 22 of the Chandler City Code, last updated April 13, 2023 and effective August 1, 2023, which requires all short-term rentals to obtain a city license. Under Ariz. Rev. Stat. section 9-500.39 (as amended by HB 2672 and subsequent legislation), Chandler may license short-term rentals, require contact information for a responsible party available within 60 minutes, require liability insurance, and impose civil penalties for verified violations, but may not categorically prohibit STR use of an ADU. License fees are capped at $250 to cover administrative costs. Operators must give written notice to neighboring property owners and ensure an emergency contact is reachable for police response. Failure to license can result in fines up to $1,000 per month plus per-violation civil penalties.
Operating an unlicensed short-term rental violates Chandler City Code Chapter 22 and Ariz. Rev. Stat. section 9-500.39 and can result in fines up to $1,000 per month plus per-occurrence civil penalties for noise, parking, occupancy, and trash violations. Failure to provide neighbor notification or to maintain an emergency contact can result in license suspension. Repeat verified violations under state law can support license revocation.
