Important to know

Tachles Israel is an independent information service, not a government authority. Check binding conditions, eligibility and deadlines with the official source.

Before you start

The municipality or council where the property is located registers the holder. The specific example here is Tel Aviv–Yafo, not a nationwide form.

Who is this guide for?

Tenants, owners and buyers updating their municipal tax account.

!
Conditions and exceptions

Check the contract term and occupancy type. Tel Aviv–Yafo's incoming-tenant route requires a complete lease of at least one year; ask the municipality about other cases.

Step by step

The checklist

Your progress0 of 5 Steps
01

Identify the property account

Gather the property number, complete address and entry date. Do not use an adjacent apartment's or separate parking space's account without checking.
What should you prepare?

Previous municipal tax bill and contract.

Please note

Tel Aviv instructions do not bind another municipality.

02

Choose the route for your status

Distinguish incoming tenant, change of owner and family member. In Tel Aviv–Yafo, a non-Israeli tenant must update in person at the service centre with suitable identification.
What should you prepare?

Complete lease; for purchase, sale agreement and identification as listed.

Please note

Read your route's full document list, not just the form title.

05

Verify registration and billing

Check the holder's name and start date in the updated bill or personal account. For a discrepancy, send the agreement, reference and requested date and ask for a reasoned decision.
What should you prepare?

Municipal response and updated bill.

Please note

Changing municipal tax does not automatically transfer the water account.

These links let you check with the responsible authority. The website's verification date does not guarantee that every detail has remained up to date since then.

Frequently asked questions

Does an existing discount transfer automatically?

Do not assume so. Tel Aviv's page allows requesting transfer during the application; confirm approval for the new property.
