The Haifa Municipality offers property tax benefits for artists working in Haifa. Who is eligible for a discount, what needs to be done, and why not offer the same benefit to scientists?
Property tax rates in Haifa are among the highest in Israel. In an effort to attract creative young people who contribute to positive urban activity, the Haifa Municipality has launched a program that provides property tax discounts for artists.
The municipality notes that this program aims to strengthen the local artistic community and is suitable for artists of various disciplines, as well as for those who wish to open an art gallery in the city. The program’s goal is to support artistic creation and ease the financial burden on artists and cultural figures in maintaining properties used for artistic activities.
