Municipal consulting, building permits, and licensing
Dealing with local authorities, planning and building committees, and municipal bodies is a complex challenge. Bureaucracy can pose a significant obstacle, both for entrepreneurs promoting a major project and for citizens seeking a building permit for a balcony addition.
Our office specializes in providing comprehensive municipal consulting and legal and statutory support. We handle the initiation and promotion of building plans, expedite bureaucratic processes, address objections and appeals, and arrange agreements with various authorities across the country.
Our unique expertise: “Insider” experience
The main advantage of our office lies in years of extensive experience in municipal legal consulting and support. We have in-depth knowledge of the “language” of the authorities and the operations of local and regional committees.
We have successfully handled a variety of complex projects, from land use changes to supporting “evacuation and construction” plans. We know how to efficiently navigate bureaucracy, identify creative solutions to disputes, and achieve the desired outcome for our clients.
Information sources and tools for planning and building
Planning and building processes in Israel are undergoing rapid digitization. Today, there are several key government websites for initial information and application submission. Familiarity with them is essential:
- Planning Information Website (Mavat): The main tool for reviewing city building plans (TABA).
- Licensing System: The national digital platform for submitting building permit applications.
- GovMap – The Government Real Estate Site: Allows locating critical information on blocks and parcels and real estate data.
- Service Center – Construction and Housing: Centralizes all government services in the field.
Familiarity with these tools is the first step. The next critical stage is the ability to analyze the information, identify conflicts between plans, and manage the bureaucratic process. This is precisely where our legal expertise comes into play.
