Chandler Arizona Building Safety and Inspection Guide

Chandler Building Safety reviews plans, issues permits, and performs building inspections, with electronic plan review, walk-in plan review for some residential work, online status checks, and next-day inspection scheduling.

Permit takeaway

Chandler Building Safety reviews plans, issues permits, and conducts inspections for development projects, including homeowner residential work described in the city's homeowner manual.

Zoning and placement

Homeowners should check HOA requirements, property lines, utility locations, zoning, and development standards before applying because city approval does not enforce private HOA restrictions.

Building and trade review

Chandler offers electronic plan review for all projects and walk-in plan review for some residential additions and renovations, with inspection scheduling online, by text, or through the IVR system.

Call before applying when

Call before applying if you are unsure whether a residential addition, renovation, patio, pool, wall, shed, or small commercial-scale project qualifies for walk-in review.
