Animal Registration

All cats and dogs living in the Mount Isa City Council region must be registered. Fines apply if your cat or dog is not registered and if the registration details are not up to date. Your pet must wear its registration tag at all times. Check the tag regularly and replace if it is damaged, so if your pet becomes lost, Council can promptly identify it and return your pet to you.
