Taxpayers may still receive a 1 percent discount on full amounts of county and state taxes paid in December. After December no discount is allowed. Split payments do not qualify.

Exemption certificates must be renewed annually by January 31 1946 for voters, with 60 plus free and disabled persons paying $1 for a tax certificate.
