In June each year, registered dog owners in the City of Launceston municipality receive a renewal notice in the post or via their nominated email address.
Alternatively, a one-off lifelong registration fee can be paid for the life of your dog.
Launceston Mayor Albert van Zetten reminded new dog owners to ensure their four-legged friend was registered, microchipped and de-sexed.
“Dogs above the age of six months must be registered in the Launceston municipality,” Mayor van Zetten said.
“This is not only a legislative requirement but it helps us return lost dogs to their rightful owners.
