Late penalty
“Council's Registering a Dog page and Animal Management Fees and Charges 2026/2027 PDF both state a flat penalty ('If you are late paying your registration fee, there is a 40% penalty' / 'Late Registration Fee: Non-Working Dog 40%, Working Dog 40%') but neither publishes a specific calendar date the 40% penalty takes effect - only that the annual registration period runs 1 July to 30 June and renewal forms go out 'late June' / 'in June each year'.”, Gore District Council's own wording.
