ESA letters in Iowa: FAQ

Can I get an ESA letter online in Iowa?

Yes. A telehealth evaluation is valid as long as the provider is licensed in Iowa and the evaluation is a real clinical assessment, not a flat-fee form.

Does my provider have to be licensed in Iowa?

Yes. For a Iowa housing accommodation, the letter should come from a mental health professional licensed in Iowa. The providers below are licensed there.

Can a Iowa landlord charge a pet fee for my ESA?

Under the federal Fair Housing Act, an emotional support animal is a reasonable accommodation rather than a pet, so landlords generally cannot charge pet deposits or pet fees.

No. Vitely is a directory. We connect you with licensed providers in Iowa who can evaluate whether an emotional support animal is right for you.
