One flat price, published up front: $149, or $199 with an optional ID card — charged only if you’re approved.
No call-for-pricing games here: every Vermont evaluation runs on the same published flat rates, and approval — not payment — always comes first.
The fee buys a genuine evaluation — a private phone or video visit with a professional holding an active Vermont license — and, on approval, a signed letter bearing their license details, usually delivered within 10–15 minutes. The ID card add-on is purely optional and carries no legal weight.
Burlington’s tight college-town rental market and Vermont’s older housing stock often come with strict pet policies. That market context is exactly why a letter that holds up the first time matters.
The cheapest letter is the one that works the first time. A rejected “instant” certificate means lost application fees, delayed move-ins, and paying twice — a clinically issued letter avoids all of it.
No hidden fees · HIPAA secure · Pay only if approved.
You’re charged only after the evaluation — the card is authorized first, and if the licensed professional doesn’t approve you, no letter fee is taken.
No. Pricing is flat and shown before checkout. The only add-on is $60 per additional animal.
No — renewal is its own evaluation at the same flat rate, usually needed around the one-year mark.
Ultra-cheap “instant” letters usually skip the licensed evaluation entirely, which is exactly why Vermont landlords reject them. A letter that doesn’t hold up costs more than it saves.
Generally no — ESA evaluations aren’t typically covered by health insurance, which is why the price is kept flat and transparent.
