Payment of dog registration is due by 31 July. Payment after this date will incur a penalty. Responsible Dog Owner Status holders can get a discount on fees if paid by 30 June.

Pay online in four easy steps

Step 1. Check your details are correct

Each year in June we post an Application for Dog Registration form to all registered dog owners.  When you receive this, check your details and those of your dog(s) are correct. Note: if you have a new dog to register, you should notify Council of this so the details may be loaded ready for registration.

If the details are incorrect:

Changes will be completed within three working days and then you can return to pay online.

Application for dog registration formStep 2. Find your CCC User ID

You can find your CCC User ID on the Application for Dog Registration form posted to you, or you can call the Council on (03) 941 8999 to find out your number.

 

Step 3. Your choice: request a strip tag

When paying online you will receive a disc tag, if you would like a strip tag, as you may have received last year, please complete the form in this section. NOTE: Please only fill in this form just before making your online registration payment. At this time we are unable to store your preference for payment on another day.

We recommend that you soak your strip tag in hot water before bending it through the ring of your dogs collar and locking it.

Step 4. Pay your registration

Please note:

  • If you want to be issued a strip tag remember to fill in the online form above before going on to the payments screen.
  • You will need your credit card or online banking details.
