All dog registrations in New Zealand expire on 30 June each year, regardless of when they were first registered.

By 1 July you should have received a re-registration form from us which you will need to check to make sure your details are still correct and then make the payment. You can update your details and make the payment online.

Alternatively you can also pay with the form in person at Rolleston council offices or at any of our service centres in Lincoln, Darfield or Leeston.

If you pay your dog rego by 31 July you will get a discounted fee of $45. After that the full fee applies which is $60.

In 2021 we introduced a metal tag (One Tag) which is designed to last your dog’s lifetime. One Tag replaced the old plastic tag that  dog owners had to swap every year they renewed their dog’s registration. So unless you are registering a new dog, we won’t be issuing another tag when you renew your dog’s registration. If you need a replacement, you can get a new One Tag by contacting us. Replacement tags cost $5.
