Uh-oh... Lost your reminder notice? Not a problem! If your notice never arrived in the mail, or it did but you have misplaced it, head down to your nearest Council Service Centre where the friendly Customer Services team are more than happy to print these out for you.

Keep us in the loop!
If you’ve changed your address, or where the dog is kept, or you no longer have the dog please let us know now so we can make sure your details are correct.

Information for new dog owners
All dog owners are legally required to register their dogs with their local councils when the dog reaches 3 months of age.
All dogs registered for the first time (except working dogs) must be microchipped.

If you are new to the Tararua District, or have a new or unregistered dog(s), you will need to register your dog(s) with us immediately. Once your dog(s) is registered, you will need to renew your registration each year.
