Meet a Utah-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
St. George is home to Utah Tech University and has been one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the country, driven by retirees and remote workers.
For St. George renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Utah. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 109,000 residents, St. George in Washington County is Utah’s fifth-largest city. Renters across Downtown St. George, Little Valley, Bloomington, Green Valley, Santa Clara (adjoining) and Washington (adjoining) rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Utah law protects tenants with disabilities who have a service animal or a support animal (an animal that qualifies as a reasonable accommodation under federal law) in private rental housing: the owner may not discriminate or charge an extra fee or deposit for the animal, though the tenant remains liable for damage it causes (Utah Code 26B-6-803). Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division (Utah Labor Commission) or with HUD. For the details, read our Utah ESA law guide.

Quickly — same-day slots are usually open, and approved letters reach you within 10-15 minutes of the evaluation.
Yes. Your letter should come from someone holding an active Utah license — that’s the first thing a St. George landlord is likely to verify.
