So, What Is Arnona<\/b><\/h4>\n

Arnona is a type of property tax that residents of local authorities are required to pay. The collected arnona is used to pay for buildings within the local authority (or municipality) and a variety of other public services. \u00a0Arnona must be paid, regardless of one\u2019s opinion of the quality of services provided. Arnona is applied to every building within a local authority. This applies to residential properties, business properties, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n

Arnona entails two types of payments, first, a tax that the central government mandates, and second, the rate that the local government (or municipality) decides. \u00a0Arnona is calculated according to a number of criteria, including the location of the property within the local authority\u2019s boundaries, how the property is classified, how the property is used, and the size of the property in square meters. \u00a0The payment can vary from year to year as the rates are often slightly adjusted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regarding the location of the property, areas of a local authority that are wealthier or more centrally located (like close to downtown) will often be charged slightly higher rates than other zones within a local authority. \u00a0We previously mentioned that the property\u2019s classification also determines part of the cost. Some classifications include: residential areas, offices, hotels, banks, and houses of prayer, among others. These classifications can also, in some cases, entitle the owner to a discount, for example, a house of prayer (church, synagogue, etc.). \u00a0One important classification distinguishes between residential and non-residential areas in particular. Finally, the area of the property can be calculated in one of four ways (depending on how the particular authority chooses to conduct the calculation): net area, gross area, internal net area (excluding, for example, balconies), and attached gross area (including, for example, parking, storage, and more). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
