Did you know that new immigrants are entitled to a 70-90% discount on their Arnona bill (Municipal/council tax) ?

It should be made clear though, that this applies to dwellings up to 100sqm (1076sq.ft.)

In many cases the water/waste water charges will come along with the Arnona bill, charged separately and in many cases for differing periods (i.e. Arnona charge for months 7/8 and water charges for months 5-6

Usually the discount is given for 1 year but must be taken during the first 2 years of Aliyah.

The discount can be applied for at your local Arnona office. Documentation you will need to present:
