Dogs
Registration and renewal
The City encourages responsible dog ownership. Being a responsible dog owner means ensuring your dog is:
- Registered with your local government
- Microchipped
- Trained, healthy, safe and well cared for
- Not creating a nuisance to other members of your community by barking or howling; and
- Not wandering the streets unrestrained
The Dog Act 1976 contains provisions about the keeping and control of dogs. The City allows you to keep no more than two dogs over the age of three months. Households can apply for permission to keep more than two dogs by completing the Application to keep more than two dogs outlining the reasons why you wish to keep more than two dogs. A fee applies to the application as listed under the City’s Fees and Charges. The fee is non-refundable should the application be declined.
Dog registration
You can register your dog online. If you have a mySouthPerth account, please sign in prior to registering your pet.
You will need to provide the following documentation during the registration process:
- Proof of microchipping
- Proof of sterilisation (if appropriate)
- Proof of pension card (if appropriate)
Any new one year registration made between 1 June and 31 October is subject to 50 per cent off the registration fee. This is due to the registration expiring on 31 October in the same year, regardless of registration date.
Registration renewals
- sterilisation or microchip documents (if changed)
- pension card details (if applicable)
