HDC's own 'Fees for Dogs and Other Animals' page publishes a two-column table: 'Registration Fee (Incl GST)' vs 'Fee if paid after 31 July', e.g. General Dog Entire $145.00 -> $217.50. The Register-your-dog page separately states 'ROL Applications are accepted from 1 June to 15 July each year. Failure to register your dog by 31 July will disqualify your ROL.'”, Hauraki District Council's own wording.
