REGISTER YOUR PETS – REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW DUE

From Wednesday, 1 June 2022, residents will begin to receive their annual dog and cat registration renewals for the 2022/23 financial year.

Registration renewals are due by 30 June 2022, upon payment your pet registration will be valid from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023. If your dog or cat is over 12 weeks of age it is a legal requirement to have them registered and microchipped.

These activities are all part of being a responsible animal owner and greatly assist Council in reuniting lost animals with their owners.

Previously, Council has applied a 50% fee waiver as part of the COVID-19 recovery initiative. 

In the Council meeting held on 13 April 2022, Council endorsed a staged approach to the removal of the fee waiver and the return to standard fees and charges. 

This will result in the fee waiver being reduced from 50% to 25% to apply to all animal registrations, with the exception of regulated dogs. 

The renewal fees for regulated dog registration will revert to the standard fees charged in the 2018/19 registration year.

Council continues to support responsible animal ownership by offering a significant registration discount if your pet is desexed, with pensioner concession also available.

Animal owners are encouraged to take the opportunity to review the details on this years’ renewal notice to ensure all animal and contact details are up to date. Should an update be required, please contact Council’s Community Safety or Customer Service team for assistance.

Upon payment of registration, the renewal notice serves as your pet’s registration certificate. This year’s registration tag is yellow and should be affixed to your animal at all times. Please remember to remove outdated tags.

A secure online payment portal is available allowing registration payments to be made with a credit card. Visit the Council website www.maranoa.qld.gov.au and click the Make a Payment tab.

  • Online via BPay
