Is your furry friend a loyal sidekick, a spoiled lapdog, or a hardworking farmhand? No matter their vibe, all dogs need to be registered before 1 July.
Registration fees:
- $90 for dogs on urban properties less than 1 hectare
- $70 for rural dogs on properties larger than 1 hectare
- $50 for working dogs kept solely for herding and stock droving
If your pup isn’t registered and paid for by 1 August, a 50% late fee will be added. These fees help cover the cost of all dog-related services in Tasman. It’s largely a user-pays system which is only 5% funded from general rates.
Already registered? Great! Keep an eye out – registration forms will be sent out soon. You can also grab a form anytime from our website.
Here’s how to return your registration form:
- Email it to dog.control@tasman.govt.nz
- Post it to Dog Control, Private Bag 4, Richmond 7050
- Drop it off at any Council Service Centre
Paying your fee is easy:
- Bank transfer: 12-3193-0002048-03 (use your dog owner number as the reference)
- Online by credit card (small fee applies)
- In person at any Council Service Centre
Moved house? Changed your number? Got a new pup? Make sure you update your details on the form.
