In plain language
Yes — Utah’s support-animal law (§§ 26B-6-801 to -805, recodified 2023) recognizes emotional-support animals, prohibits charging an extra fee or deposit for one in private housing, and makes faking a support animal a misdemeanor. The correct citation is Title 26B, not the “§ 57-21-9.5” some sites cite. A legitimate letter from a licensed provider is what supports the accommodation. This is general information, not legal advice — consult a Utah-licensed attorney about your situation.
