How do I register my cat or dog?
You need to register dogs and cats over the age of three months or risk a fine of $385.00 if you do not register. Annual renewals are due by 10 April each year. Renewal notices will be sent out prior to this date.
Your pet has to be microchipped and needs to carry its tag at all times.
Contact Council to have a registration form mailed to you.
More than two cats or dogs?
You need to apply for a permit if you want to keep more than two cats or two dogs.
