2. Decal fees for senior citizens (Warrenton citizens sixty-five (65) years or older) are $7.50 for one vehicle decal per year per individual. Citizens 65 or older eligible to purchase a decal at the reduced rate are required to provide proof of age at the time the decal is issued. If you purchase your decal by mail or on-line, you must mail or fax proof of age. If you need assistance, please contact the Finanace Department at 347-1102.

4. Town residents who are active fire and rescue volunteers for the Warrenton Fire Company or the Warrenton Rescue Squad may receive (1) free decal each year. Taxes must be paid before issuing a free decal each year. Lists are provided by the fire and rescue companies and only those names on the lists may be issued a free decal.
