Dog Renewal Registration

Dog renewal registrations for the Horowhenua District were due on or before 5 August 2023, for the 2023/2024 financial year (1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024). We've extended the deadline to 5pm on Monday 7 August 2023.

Once you've received your Application to Renew Registration of Dogs form by post or email, you have until 7 August 2023 to renew your dog registration. Find out how to apply below.

Fee payments made after 7 August will incur a 50% late fee penalty payment.

If you need to make some changes to your registration, please get in touch with us.

Step 1.Have your form ready

Ensure you have your Application to Renew Registration of Dogs form for 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. You can complete renewal registrations online for up to six dogs. If you own more than six dogs, please contact us.

Step 2.Check the details

If your renewal doesn't match the form you received and you need to make some changes to your registration, please contact us. If your dog ownership has not changed, continue to step 3.

Step 3.Have your dog tag number(s) ready

Our online form will automatically fill in some of the details for you. You’ll just need to have your dog tag number(s) ready to enter into the form. If you've misplaced your dog tag(s), you can enter the birth date of the person who registered the dog(s). 

Step 4.Renew and pay online

Ensure you have a credit/debit card or internet banking details for POLi so you can pay and finalise your renewal registration online.
