Animal Services infringement notices must be paid in full (no part payments can be accepted) within 28 days of issue of the infringement.
Where you can pay your infringement notice
You can pay Animal Services infringement notices at our customer service agencies, post offices and some bookshops or pay online.
If your notice is not paid within the 28 days we will send you a reminder. If you still do not pay within the time stated on the reminder, it will be handed over to the Fines and Collections Unit of the Department for Courts. Once your notice is lodged with the Court, your notice will also incur court costs and it will have to be paid through the Court's system.
