Community Tax Certificate (Cedula)
Simple (3 working days)
The Community Tax Certificate — commonly called Cedula — is a basic document you need for almost all government transactions in the Philippines. You need it when applying for a business permit, mayor's clearance, notarized documents, and more. The basic fee is ₱5.00, but the final amount depends on your income and property. Quick lang — usually done in under 10 minutes.
Who May Avail
Any Madridejos resident aged 18 and above. Businesses (corporations, cooperatives, associations) operating in the municipality also need one.
Requirements
1 valid ID (any government-issued ID)
Your previous year's Cedula (if you have it — speeds up the process, but not required)
Knowledge of your annual income and property value (the clerk will ask)
