Chandler, AZ Special Events & Permits: Block Party Permits (2026)

3 lets residents apply directly to the Public Works and Utilities Department for a no-fee block-party street closure rather than routing it through the general encroachment-permit fee schedule in Division II. The applicant must sign an agreement to comply with the section's ten listed conditions and collect the signature of every property owner within the affected block on a City-provided consent form. That packet, plus attachments, has to reach the City at least five working days before the requested closure date. The applicant signs for the City's portable street barricades, erects them for the closure, and must remove all barricades within one hour of the stated closure time; every barricade has to be back at the City Street Division by the next normal business day.

The applicant is billed for the actual repair or replacement cost of any barricades or City property damaged or destroyed during the party, the ordinance specifically calls out stop signs and speed signs, and is responsible for sweeping the street of debris and garbage afterward. ' The Director of Public Works and Utilities Department approves or disapproves every application and will not approve closure of a collector street or the first block of any street where it intersects a major street. The Engineering Division verifies the addresses listed on the agreement and notifies the Fire and Police Departments of the closure's time, date and location before it happens.
