Wyoming ESA laws
Wyoming's disability rights statute, Wyo. Stat. 35-13-201, says renters can't be discriminated against for having an assistance animal that the federal Fair Housing Act permits. Because state law counts animals that provide emotional support easing the symptoms of a disability as assistance animals, an ESA fits inside that protection. You remain liable for damage the animal does to the rental.
- Wyo. Stat. 35-13-205 defines an assistance animal more broadly than a service animal, including animals that relieve identified symptoms or effects of a disability through emotional support.
- Knowingly misrepresenting an animal's status is a misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $750, under 35-13-203(b).
- Wyoming's workforce agency handles employment discrimination only, so housing discrimination complaints from Wyoming are filed with HUD.

Your Wyoming ESA letter, step by step
Book a time
Pick a phone or video slot online and answer a short questionnaire about how you are feeling and the animal you live with in Wyoming.
Talk with a licensed clinician
A licensed clinician spends about 5–10 minutes with you and decides whether an emotional support animal is part of your care.
Get your signed letter
If the clinician approves, your letter is emailed to you as a PDF with their license details. If not, you are not charged.
Share it with your housing provider
Send the letter with a short reasonable accommodation request. Keep copies of everything you send and receive.

What an ESA letter covers
Rentals and other housing
A letter supports a reasonable accommodation request, so a housing provider considers an exception to no-pet rules or pet fees for your animal.
Not flights or stores
Airlines treat emotional support animals as pets, and stores or restaurants do not have to admit them. Only trained service dogs have those rights.
Any common species
Dogs and cats are most common, but the letter is about your need for the animal, not its breed or training.
Reasonable limits apply
A provider can still refuse an animal that poses a direct threat or causes serious damage.
What to do if a landlord in Wyoming denies your ESA
Ask the housing provider to put the refusal and its reason in writing. You can then file a complaint with HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. Many renters settle the issue at this stage simply by asking for a written decision.
