Pet registration
Our pet registration period is from 1 September to 31 August each year. Renewal notices are issued in August each year. Please do not pay your pet’s registration renewal before you have received your notice. You can renew your pet's registration online.
How to register your cat or dog
All cats and dogs 12 weeks and over must be registered.
To register your cat or dog, you will need to provide:
- your animal’s microchip number
- proof of desexing (if applicable) - make sure you have this with you when you register them
- your Pension Concession Card or Department of Veterans Affairs Card (if applicable)
- your current breeder membership card from a recognised cat or dog association (if applicable).
You can register a new pet in the following ways:
- register online

Updating your pet registration details
If you move address or change your phone number, it is important to let us know. Correct contact details could help us reunite you with your pet if it becomes lost.
To update your contact details, or tell us if one of your pets is no longer residing at the property, fill in our online form, email us at council@logan.qld.gov.au or call us on 07 3412 3412.
How to nominate someone to act on your behalf
Sometimes pet owners would like other members of their family or friends to act, speak or access information on their behalf. If you want to give access to someone else, we need the pet owner to give us this authority by filling in our Authority to act form (PDF 544 KB).
Please return your completed application and documentation to us by:

Discounted pet registration fees (pensioners and animal association membership)
Council offers discounted registration for all puppies under the age of 12 months and all desexed dogs.
The general recommendation is for dogs to be desexed between 5 and 6 months of age. In more recent years, and based on scientific evidence, the RSPCA and many veterinarians are recommending that dogs be desexed before they reach puberty, which for some dogs can be as early as 4 months. Desexing can be performed safely from 8 weeks (at a minimum body weight of 1kg), and evidence shows that at this earlier age, surgery and healing times are both faster.
You can receive a discount on your pet registration if:
- your cat or dog is desexed
- you hold a valid and current Pension Concession Card (this will need to be shown when paying your pet registration)
- you are a current financial breeder member of a recognised association:
- Dogs Queensland
- Queensland Feline Association Inc.
- Queensland Racing Integrity Commission
- Feline Control Council of Queensland Inc.
- Queensland Independent Cat Council Inc.
Pet registration renewals
Our registration period is from 1 September to 31 August each year. You will receive a renewal in August each year. We only offer yearly renewals.
If you are registering a new animal between 1 March and 31 August each year you will not be charged the full registration fee. You will be charged based off how long is left in the registration period (which renews in August). If your pet was living on your property before 1 March, you will need to pay the full registration fee.
You can pay your pet registration renewal in the following ways:
- pay online
- call us on 07 3412 3412
- visit our customer service centres.
Transfer of pet ownership and registration
If you have recently moved to Logan, you will need to register your pet with us.
If your pet is currently registered with another council in Queensland, you can apply for a reciprocal registration. This means we can register your pet without a fee until the end of our registration period.
To register for reciprocal registration, please visit the Animal Management Centre or one of Council’s Customer Service Centres. You will need to give us evidence of your pet’s registration with another Council.
To transfer pet ownership and registration, please download and fill in the Application for transfer of ownership for animal registration (PDF 224 KB) and return to us.
Pet registration tags
When you register your cat or dog for the first time, you will receive a registration tag.
Please attach the registration tag to your pet's collar and ensure they are wearing it all times. This registration tag is for the lifetime of your pet.
If you lose or damage a tag, please request a new tag online.
