In plain language
Not a dedicated one — North Carolina’s State Fair Housing Act carries the FHA-style accommodation duty that covers emotional-support animals in housing, but the state has no separate ESA statute. A legitimate letter from a licensed provider supports the accommodation. This is general information, not legal advice — consult a North Carolina-licensed attorney about your situation.
