Renting in Greeley with an assistance animal
Greeley has about 115,000 residents and added more than 6,200 people between 2020 and 2025, a 5.8 percent increase driven by Weld County's growth. It is the county seat, home to the University of Northern Colorado, and its rental market has expanded quickly enough that a lot of landlords here are relatively new to the business.
A market still learning the rules
Most refusals we hear about in Greeley come from unfamiliarity rather than hostility. A landlord who bought a rental property two years ago may simply point at the no-pet clause and stop there, having never encountered an accommodation request.
The productive response is short and written: state that you are requesting a reasonable accommodation under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, attach the letter from your Colorado-licensed clinician, and ask for a written decision by a date. Since HB26-1045 a blanket prohibition is presumptively discriminatory here, which is worth knowing even if you never need to say it out loud.
University of Northern Colorado
UNC brings a substantial student population into the market. Campus housing requests go through the university's disability services office on the university's deadlines, which generally fall before move-in. Off-campus rentals follow the ordinary Colorado process.
Older housing and newer subdivisions
Central Greeley holds older housing, much of it subdivided and individually owned with legacy leases. West Greeley and the newer subdivisions are HOA-governed with formal processes. Weld County animal licensing applies to your assistance animal like any other dog.

We write for tenants in downtown Greeley, the UNC campus area, West Greeley, Promontory, Kelly Farm and out toward Evans and Windsor.
The 2026 law that changed this
Colorado signed HB26-1045 in June 2026 and it took effect that August. It wrote emotional support animals into the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act as assistance animals, and stated that an assistance animal's mere presence is neither a direct threat nor presumed to cause property damage. Colorado also requires a bona fide provider-patient relationship before an ESA letter is issued, so a genuine evaluation is not optional here. Both are covered in full on our Colorado ESA laws page.

Greeley ESA letter questions
My Greeley landlord has never seen a request like this. How should I approach it?
Keep it short, written and factual: request a reasonable accommodation, attach the letter, ask for a written decision. Most first-time refusals here come from unfamiliarity rather than objection.
How do I request an animal in UNC housing?
Through the university's disability services office with documentation from a licensed provider. Deadlines usually fall before move-in, so start early rather than in August.
Where do I complain if I am refused?
The Colorado Civil Rights Division, which enforces the Anti-Discrimination Act. Filing is free and you do not need a lawyer to start.
Do I still need to license my dog in Weld County?
Yes. Local animal licensing and rabies requirements apply to assistance animals like any other dog. The accommodation exempts you from landlord pet fees only.
