NSW Government introduces annual permits for non-desexed cats and dangerous dogs

Under legislation introduced by the NSW Government, Orange residents keeping restricted dog breeds, dangerous dogs and non-desexed cats, must pay an annual fee.

The state government introduced the changes on July 1, requiring owners of dogs, of a restricted breed or declared to be dangerous, to pay a $195 annual permit in addition to their one-off lifetime pet registration fee. This applies to dogs already registered.

Cats which are not desexed by four months of age are subject to an $80 annual permit, as well as a one-off lifetime pet registration fee.
