Real property owners in Bacolod City are encouraged to settle their tax dues at the Land Tax Division before the year ends to avail the 20 percent discount offered by the city government.

Arlene Memoria, head of the Land Tax office, said the discount is granted to the taxpayers year round and they do not have to wait until December to avail it.

She said the influx of taxpayers at their office in December showed that most think the discount only applies at year-end.
