Roy ESA Letters and Psychiatric Service Dog Letters
Roy, a Weber County city just west of I-15, had 39,306 residents at the 2020 census and grew fast during World War II, when it housed workers from Hill Air Force Base and nearby supply depots. A free screening, reviewed by a Utah-licensed clinician, begins the letter process if your animal helps with anxiety, depression or another condition.

Roy Questions in the Passbook
Who licenses pets in Roy?
Roy City Animal Services, which is part of the Roy City Police Department. Licensing questions go to 801-774-1076.
When does a new Roy resident have to license a pet?
Dogs and cats brought into Roy must be licensed within thirty days of entering the city, or within thirty days after they reach four months old. Licenses are then renewed every year.
What do I need for a Roy pet license?
Proof of a current rabies vaccination. Roy issues dog and cat licenses on that proof.
How many dogs or cats can I license in Roy?
Roy's rules make it unlawful to license more than two dogs or cats unless the Roy City Code allows it, so check with Animal Services before adding a third animal.
When are Roy Days?
The first week of August. Roy West Park hosts carnival activities all week, with a car show and golf tournament, and Saturday brings a 5K run, a parade and fireworks.
Does a psychiatric service dog have more rights than an ESA in Utah?
In public places, yes. The ADA covers trained service dogs, including psychiatric service dogs, but not emotional support animals, and Utah Code 26B-6-801 likewise defines a service animal as a trained dog and excludes comfort-only animals. In private housing, Utah Code 26B-6-803 protects both.
