Dog Ownership
All dogs over three months need to be registered. Registrations are issued for a period of either one year or three years, from the 1st November of each year.
Dog registration forms are available from the Service and Information Centre, Ground Floor, Town Hall. The form must be completed and signed by an applicant over the age of 18 years.
Reduced rates are available for pension cardholders. A member of Council Staff must sight your Pensioner Concession Card.
It is a legal requirement that dogs wear a tag clearly showing the owners name and address. It is also handy to include a telephone number to enable owner to be easily contacted should the dog wander from home.
If you wish to claim a sterilisation discount you will need to provide proof of your dogs sterilisation. If you do not have a sterilisation certificate from a veterinary surgeon you can complete a Statutory Declaration and have it signed by the JP in the Town Hall Centre on the Ground Floor. Alternatively, if your dog has a sterilisation tattoo in his/her ear you may bring your dog into the Town Hall Centre and have the tattoo sighted by a Council Officer.
