Arizona is understanding and supportive of those with mental and emotional disabilities. Because of this, the state has laws and policies that strive to respect the need for emotional support animals as part of mental health treatment plans. (In fact, Arizona tends to be quite pet-friendly in offering facilities and activities that welcome animals.)
To qualify for an emotional support animal in Arizona, you must be diagnosed with an emotional or mental disability by a licensed mental health professional.
Like many states, Arizona has adopted many of the federal laws and regulations regarding emotional support animals.
Read on for a deeper dive into Arizona's specific laws for housing, travel, work environment, and public access for an assistance animal. We'll help you get all the information you need to understand your rights, protections, and benefits for having an emotional support animal in Arizona.
Get Your ESA LetterArizona respects a person's emotional support animal as being an important part of their treatment plan. The state follows the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA), which allows a person with an ESA or service animal to keep their animal with them in their place of residence, regardless of the landlord's policies or restrictions on pets.
This means that—provided you can produce an ESA letter as verification—a landlord must make reasonable accommodation for your support animal to live with you and cannot charge any extra fees to an ESA owner or impose any weight or breed restrictions. The only exception to this is if your assistance animal poses a direct threat or causes significant damage to the property or housing unit.
No law exists specifying that employers must accommodate an emotional support animal in a work environment. However, they are also not to discriminate against employees based on disability, therefore some employers will welcome an ESA, as they may recognize the benefits of having one for a person's mental health.
If you're unsure if you can bring your ESA to work, bring your ESA letter and talk with your HR department to find out if they are willing to make reasonable accommodation for your ESA in Arizona. Ultimately, this decision is at the discretion of your employer.
To find out if you qualify for an emotional support animal in Arizona, you must meet with a licensed mental health professional. They can evaluate your mental and emotional challenges and evaluate your eligibility.
One of the easiest ways you can do this is by working through a telehealth marketplace like Pettable. We can match you with a vetted professional licensed in your state who has extensive experience conducting mental health assessments for assistance animals and writing ESA letters.
