Pay dog registration renewal online
Pay cat registration renewal online
First time registration fees are charged pro rata, so your registration fee will be calculated based on how close to renewal you are. If you register online or in person, your fees will be calculated automatically, otherwise contact Council to find out your pro rata payment.
If your dog or cat is less than 6 months old and is not desexed (due to age), a reduced rate applies. For the reduced rate to apply in future years you will need to have your dog/cat desexed and provide the desexing certificate to Council before 10 April. If no certificate is received then registration renewal will be at the full fee.
Eligibility criteria for reduced fee on new registrations are that the animal must be desexed, or over 10 years of age, or part of a Domestic Animal Business or applicable organisation (proof must be provided).
Organisations include:
An applicable organisation is approved by the Minister for Agriculture under section 5A of the Domestic Animals Act 1994 (DA Act). Current applicable organisations include any of the following:
Proof of membership must be provided when you apply.

Assistance dogs can be registered for free if the owner meets the eligibility criteria.
