Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Chandler, TX

Airbnbs are effectively legal in Chandler, TX because there are no specific short-term rental regulations on the books. No city STR-specific registration or licensing ordinance was found in the City of Chandler Code through the most recent codification (Dec. 10, 2024). Short-term lodging may nonetheless fall under the city’s Hotel/Hotel Occupancy Tax definitions (hotels/motels/tourist homes/bed & breakfasts are included) and normal building, zoning, and parking rules (zoning exhibit references tourist home/bed & breakfast/motel). Operators should therefore expect applicable HOT collection/reporting, compliance with building/inspection and zoning use rules, and general code compliance. Operators should still verify HOA rules, state-level requirements, and any tax-collection obligations. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements. Last verified 2026-05-14.
