Midvale ESA Letters and Psychiatric Service Dog Letters
Midvale, whose name likely comes from its central place in the Salt Lake Valley, had 36,028 residents at the 2020 census and is split by I-15, with the Jordan River as its western border. A free screening, reviewed by a Utah-licensed clinician, is where a letter starts if your animal helps with anxiety, depression or another condition.

Why Midvale Renters Want a Utah-Licensed Clinician
Utah-licensed review
The clinician deciding a Midvale request is licensed in Utah.
Truthful requests
Under Utah law it is a class C misdemeanor to mislead a provider for support animal documentation.
Federal accommodation
Utah decides what a support animal is by federal reasonable accommodation law.
From Mining Slag to Bingham Junction
Homes stood here by the 1850s, and the railroad and Bingham Canyon mining brought rapid growth in the 1870s, with industry on the west side and farms and housing on the east. The western area, once the Sharon Steel slag site, was cleaned up with help from the EPA and became Bingham Junction, now home to thousands of households and several company headquarters.

Midvale Questions on the Timetable
Who licenses pets in Midvale?
Salt Lake County Animal Services, which serves Midvale. Cats, dogs and ferrets must be licensed by 5 months of age or within 30 days of moving in or getting the pet.
What does a Midvale pet license cost?
The county charges $25 a year for a sterilized pet and $50 for an unsterilized one, and a sterilized pet of an owner 60 or older is $10. Licensing late adds a $50 penalty.
Can I get a free microchip for my Midvale pet?
Yes. Every pet in Salt Lake County qualifies for a free microchip with proof of a current pet license, and microchips are done on a walk-in basis.
What is the county's Feline Fix?
A cat sterilization clinic that the county offers bimonthly to pets in Salt Lake County. It costs $100 per cat, which covers the surgery, vaccinations and a microchip, and space must be booked online.
Where can a Midvale pet get vaccinations through the county?
Not at the shelter clinic, which currently vaccinates only animals in the county's care. The county's PAWS mobile clinic, which visits every city in the county, takes vaccine-only appointments for owned pets, and its free spay and neuter visits include vaccinations.
Does an ESA letter work for a Midvale apartment?
A letter from a licensed clinician supports a reasonable accommodation request, and Utah Code 26B-6-803 bars private housing owners from discriminating over a support animal. Because HUD stopped pursuing untrained-ESA housing claims in May 2026, a landlord's response is less predictable, so make the request in writing and keep copies.
