ESA and Psychiatric Service Dog Letters in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City, home to 199,723 people at the 2020 census, numbers its streets outward from the southeast corner of Temple Square. If an animal helps you through anxiety, depression or another condition, start with a free screening that a Utah-licensed clinician reviews.
Where Every Address Starts
The grid's origin, and the reference point for every address in the Salt Lake Valley, is the southeast corner of Temple Square.

Great Salt Lake City, Founded 1847
Settlers led by Brigham Young founded the city in July 1847 and named it Great Salt Lake City after the nearby lake; the word Great was dropped in 1868. It replaced Fillmore as the territorial capital in 1856. This Is the Place Heritage Park, now the city's largest park, holds the monument that marks the end of the Mormon Trail.
Liberty Park, Sugar House and the TRAX Lines
Liberty Park
Established in 1881 and one of the city's oldest parks, with a small lake, two islands and the Tracy Aviary.

The second-largest park at 110 acres, run by Salt Lake County; the Sego Lily Dam was built there in 2017.

Why a Utah License Matters in Salt Lake City
Licensed where you rent
The clinician who evaluates you holds a Utah license, the state your lease is in.
Honest answers count
Misleading a health care provider to get animal paperwork is a class C misdemeanor in Utah.
Federal test, local lease
Utah relies on federal accommodation rules, so the letter has to describe a disability-related need.

Salt Lake County Animal Services sets the license rules and fees and can change them, so confirm with the county before you rely on a figure here. Screening does not guarantee a letter. In a crisis, call or text 988.
Start at the Center of the Grid
A short screening lets a Utah-licensed clinician judge whether your animal is part of the care you need, from the Avenues to Glendale.
