Late penalty
“Dog registration page: 'You will then have a month in which to make your best friends legal during the discount fee period. After 31 July you will need to pay a full fee.' Fees and Charges page: 'For payments before 31 July, the fee will be only $68.00 per dog. For payments from August 1, the penalty fee will be $102.00 per dog.' Dangerous dog fee explicitly cites the mechanism: 'Registration fee for dangerous dog from 1 August (includes a 50% late registration penalty under section 37 of the Dog Control Act 1996): $153.00.'”, Selwyn District Council's own wording.
A late penalty applies from 1 August 2026.
Registration fees (2026-27)
These are Selwyn District Council's own published fees.
| Category | Fee (NZD) |
|---|---|
| Dog Registration (paid before 31 July) | $68 |
| Dog Registration (paid from 1 August) | $102 |
| Dangerous Dog Registration (paid before 31 July 2026) | $102 |
| Dangerous Dog Registration (from 1 August, includes 50% late registration penalty under s37) | $153 |
The standard-dog $68->$102 jump is exactly 1.5x, same ratio as the dangerous-dog fee, but the page only labels the dangerous-dog jump explicitly '50%' — recorded both fee lines with their own dollar amounts rather than assuming the label applies equally. Other fees on the same page (Replacement tag $5.14, Dog collar $10.27-$12.32, Seizure $51.35, Impounding $72.89/$98.59/$166.37 + $30.81/day, Kennel Licence application $123.24) are not registration fees, excluded from fees[]. Gold Class Dog Fee (14+ years, 10 consecutive compliant years) mentioned as 'a small registration fee' with no dollar figure published — not recorded.
