Chandler, AZ Home Business: Zoning & Home Occupation Permits (2026)

Home occupations: Intent: Home occupations are currently permitted within residential properties if completely conducted within the dwelling unit, by a member of the family residing therein, and no customers or employees are allowed to come to the dwelling. Planning and Zoning Commission added language indicating that one customer and one employee can be within the property at a time. Amendment Summary: The proposed amendment would permit additional uses such as but not limited to personal services, beauty services, photographer, consulting, or therapist allowing one employee and customer appointment to visit during the hours of 8 am to 7 pm. The home occupation can occur within an accessory building or garage if no permanent modifications are made to the garage, thus maintaining the ability to park vehicles. No home occupation shall be permitted that is noxious, offensive, or hazardous by reason of vehicular traffic, generation or emission of noise, vibration, smoke, dust, or other particulate matter, odorous matter, heat, humidity, glare, refuse, radiation, or other objectionable emissions.
