Arnona is a local property tax paid by each household to the local municipality / council.
In Israel, this tax is also paid by renters.
The tax rate differs widely from location to location.
The rate is set at the start of each year and is a rate per square meter of property (the larger the property the higher the arnona paid).
Olim and Ezrachim Olim (but not Katinim Chozrim) are entitled to a reduction of up to 90% (depending on location) on up to 100 square meters of their arnona bill for 12 out of their first 24 months in Israel.
