Might be obvious to some, but if you don't pay your pet registration, you will likely get the maximum fine as allowed by fines Victoria.
I did receive a letter and an email prior to getting the fine, so there's no excuse.
The only thing that sucks is the fine amount is $370 per pet. So I'm getting slugged $740 in fines plus the cost of registration renewal.
There's really no getting out of the fine, so if you have a renewal, pay it before copping a fine.
I think if I knew the fine amount, I would have paid my registration renewal when I received the letter.
Hopefully this helps someone else. I know there was a similar post last year on this site, but I only found it after getting my fine.
I guess they have to find a way to make up the $$$ in revenue for the 90% of people who dont register their pet.
Honestly I forgot this was even a thing. I've never registered my pets.
