If any negotiable paper is not paid on due presentment for any reason, any record of payment made by the officer receiving such paper shall be canceled. Any receipt issued in acknowledgment of such payment shall also be deemed to be canceled. The license fee, permit fee, fine or other obligation shall continue as an outstanding obligation as though no payment had been attempted.

The officer accepting negotiable paper shall make any memoranda necessary to enable him to make proper cancellation on its return without payment. Such officer shall incur no personal liability for the acceptance of negotiable paper pursuant to this chapter which is not paid on due presentment unless such paper is accepted in violation of any condition imposed by the board of supervisors.
