Chandler Municipal Court

What this court handles

Misdemeanors and criminal traffic offenses committed in Chandler, plus civil traffic, city code violations, and orders of protection. Felonies are prosecuted in the Maricopa County Superior Court. The recurring criminal calendars are DUI, domestic violence, and shoplifting.

Getting there

The courthouse is at 200 E Chicago St in downtown Chandler, near the city complex, with public parking nearby. Security screening is required — bring photo ID and your citation, and arrive early for morning calendars.

Looking up your case

Case lookups, payments, and court dates run through the court’s pages on chandleraz.gov or by phone at (480) 782-4700. For criminal charges, do not simply pay online — paying is pleading guilty, and some of these convictions carry consequences no one mentions at the payment screen.

Before your court date

First-offense cases in Chandler are frequently diversion-eligible, and criminal speeding can often be reduced to a civil violation — outcomes that leave no criminal record. A criminal defense attorney can tell you in one conversation what is realistic in yours.
