Do not purchase a similarly named but unsuitable document.

Check balances for preparation

Find debts and payments for the property; municipal checks may include levies beyond municipal tax.

An arnona receipt does not clear all property debts.

Frequently asked questions

Is a no-discount certificate the same document?

No. A no-discount certificate concerns an arnona discount; debt clearance and land-registry certificates serve different purposes.
