To renew an existing dog registration, use our online animal renewal form. 

Registration and Renewal

A limit of two dogs can be kept at a property.
 

All dogs aged three months and over must be registered with your local government.

The registration period runs annually from 1st November to 31st October. This means that both 1-year and 3-year animal registrations will expire on 31st October, regardless of the month in which your pet was registered.

For any new 1-year registrations made between 1st June and 31st October, the City offers a 50% discount on the registration fee. This is because the registration will expire on 31st October of the same year, regardless of the registration date.

Registering your dog with the City helps you be reunited with your dog if it is found wandering, rather than it being impounded.
 
To register your dog, please complete the online animal registration.

To renew an existing dog registration, use our online dog renewal form. 

To complete your renewal, please provide your dog’s Animal ID number and the family name of the registered owner.  This information can be found on your dog’s Certificate of Registration issued by the City or the renewal letter you have received.
 
When completing the online registration you will need to upload the necessary documents, such as proof of microchipping and proof of sterilisation (if required).

If you are unable to complete the online registration, please complete the City’s dog registration form and return this to the City via email or in person with all supporting documents included. 

If you are transferring your dog's registration from another WA local council, also use the above dog registration form.
 
If your dog’s details have changed, please notify the City via email to allow the registration to be correctly renewed i.e dog's now sterilized.
 
Pensioners are eligible for a 50% discount off the registration fees when producing the following cards at time of application:

  • Pensioner Concession Card
  • State Concession Card 
  • Commonwealth Senior’s Health Card together with a Senior’s Card.

Please note that Health Care Cards are not accepted.
