Garden complexes and detached rentals, with a substantial military population.
Frequent military relocation means letters from other states are common. Once you live in Colorado you need a Colorado-licensed provider.

Whoever your landlord is, the federal Fair Housing Act applies to most rentals in Colorado Springs, including buildings with a no-pets policy. A housing provider has to consider a written accommodation request backed by a letter from a licensed professional, and they may contact that professional to verify it.
Common neighbourhoods we write letters for include Old Colorado City, Briargate, Broadmoor, Downtown. Visits are by video or phone, so where you live in the metro makes no difference to how quickly you can be seen.

Fair housing complaints in Colorado are handled by the Colorado Civil Rights Division, and you can also file federally with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Many areas have non-profit fair housing organisations that help tenants at no cost.
Keep dated copies of your written request and any reply — that record is the first thing an agency asks for. This is general information, not legal advice.
Questions
Colorado Springs ESA Letter FAQs
How do I get an ESA letter in Colorado Springs?
Complete the free screening form, meet a mental health professional licensed in Colorado for a 20-minute visit by video or phone, and if they approve you your signed PDF arrives within 10 minutes. You are not charged unless you are approved.
What should I do differently in Colorado Springs?
After a military move, get a Colorado-licensed provider before you apply to anywhere here. Beyond that, the process is the same as anywhere else in Colorado: the letter has to come from a Colorado-licensed professional who evaluated you.
Can my Colorado Springs building apply its breed or weight limit to my ESA?
Generally not. Breed bans and weight caps in a pet policy do not normally apply to an assistance animal. A housing provider can only object based on your individual animal's actual conduct or history, not on its breed or size.
Does my provider have to be licensed in Colorado?
Yes. The letter has to come from someone licensed to practise in Colorado, because that licence is what a Colorado Springs landlord verifies against the state register. A letter signed by a provider licensed elsewhere fails that check, which is the most common reason a request is refused.
Can one letter cover more than one animal in Colorado Springs?
Yes. One letter names up to two animals at $129, or three or more at $199, with no per-animal fee inside a tier. Your landlord assesses each animal individually, so each one is named and described separately.
What if my Colorado Springs landlord says no?
Ask for the reason in writing. If the refusal cites a pet policy rather than a specific concern about your animal, say so in writing and refer to the Fair Housing Act. If it stands and you believe it was wrong, you can file a complaint with HUD or with the Colorado Civil Rights Division.
Can I fly out of Colorado Springs with my emotional support animal?
As a pet, under the airline's own pet policy. Since January 2021 airlines have not been required to treat emotional support animals as service animals, and essentially none do. Trained psychiatric service dogs are still accepted, using the Department of Transportation's service animal form.
