Registration Rules: Chandler vs Goodyear

Do I need a Chandler license to list my home on Airbnb?

Yes. Chapter 22 of the Chandler City Code, added by Ordinance No. 5048 effective August 1, 2023, requires every short-term or vacation rental in the city to hold a Chandler STR license regardless of how often it is rented. Apply through the City Clerk's Office; the annual nonrefundable fee is $250 and you must also hold an Arizona Department of Revenue TPT license.

What happens if I rent without a Chandler STR license?

Chapter 22 authorizes the city to issue a written notice of violation and, if the owner fails to apply within 30 days, to assess a civil penalty of up to $1,000 per month against the owner. Continued unlicensed operation can also lead to denial or suspension of any future STR license application by the City Clerk.
