Meet a Nebraska-licensed mental health professional by phone or video. If you're approved, your signed ESA letter arrives in 10-15 minutes.
Papillion is the seat of Sarpy County in the Omaha metro; about 26% of occupied housing units are renter-occupied (ACS 2020-2024, via Census QuickFacts).
For Papillion renters, the key document is a letter from a mental health professional licensed in Nebraska. It supports a reasonable accommodation request so a no-pet policy, pet rent or a pet deposit can be waived.
With roughly 25,100 residents, Papillion in Sarpy County is Nebraska’s ninth-largest city. Renters across Old Town Papillion, Shadow Lake, La Vista, Bellevue and Gretna rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
Nebraska has no ESA-specific housing statute, so the federal Fair Housing Act and Nebraska’s own fair housing law set the rules. Housing discrimination complaints can be filed with the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission (NEOC) or with HUD. For the details, read our Nebraska ESA law guide.

Yes. Your letter should come from someone holding an active Nebraska license — that’s the first thing a Papillion landlord is likely to verify.
Yes. The Fair Housing Act reaches HOAs, condo boards and co-ops, so community pet rules are subject to the same reasonable accommodation process.
