Identify purpose and scope

Ask whether land-registry, arnona or another certificate is needed and record property, right holders and transaction date.

Request debts and requirements

Check included departments/charges and ask for detail of unidentified debt.

Demand.

Please note

Arnona may not be the only property charge.

04

Resolve and submit evidence

Follow document/payment instructions and challenge disputes separately without assuming clearance before a decision.
What should you prepare?

Receipts and application proof.

Frequently asked questions

Does paying arnona produce land-registry clearance?
