Renting in Westminster with an assistance animal
Westminster has around 116,000 residents and was essentially flat between 2020 and 2025, down about 470 people. It straddles Adams and Jefferson counties along the US-36 corridor, which places it between two very different housing markets: Denver's to the southeast and Boulder's expensive, supply-constrained one to the northwest.
Corridor apartments and commuters
The apartment complexes along US-36 and around the Westminster Station area exist largely for commuters heading in both directions. They are professionally managed, generally have a documented accommodation process, and almost always carry pet fee schedules that do not apply to an approved assistance animal. Raise it before signing.
The Boulder spillover effect
Boulder itself lost population and remains costly, which pushes renters into Westminster, Broomfield and Louisville. Where demand is tighter, some landlords become less flexible about anything out of the ordinary. That is precisely why the 2026 state law matters: since HB26-1045, permitting an assistance animal is presumptively reasonable in Colorado and a blanket prohibition is presumptively discriminatory, whatever the local market pressure.
Older neighbourhoods and HOAs
South Westminster holds older, smaller housing often individually owned. The Legacy Ridge and Bradburn areas are HOA-governed with formal processes. Both are housing providers under Colorado law; only the pace differs.
Across Westminster
We write for tenants in South Westminster, Westminster Station, Legacy Ridge, Bradburn Village, Standley Lake, Sunstream and the neighbourhoods along Sheridan and Federal.
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.

Westminster ESA letter questions
My building along US-36 charges monthly pet rent. Does that apply?
Not to an approved assistance animal, which is not a pet under Colorado law. Request the accommodation before signing so the charge is never applied to your ledger.
Westminster is in two counties. Does that affect my complaint?
No. Housing discrimination complaints go to the Colorado Civil Rights Division statewide, whichever county your address falls in.
The market is tight and my landlord is being difficult. What leverage do I have?
Since HB26-1045, permitting an assistance animal is presumptively reasonable and a complete prohibition is presumptively discriminatory in Colorado. Put the request in writing, attach the letter, and ask for a written decision.
Can one letter cover a dog and a cat?
Yes. The $129 letter covers up to two animals of any domestic species reasonable to keep in a home. Three or more are covered by the $199 letter with each named.
