Ashkelon launches digital residency certificate for tax benefit
Ashkelon Municipality has launched a digital residency certificate form for residents using the city’s tax benefit. The certificate now includes water-payer and educational-institution details; after the form is completed, a signed digital certificate is sent immediately by email. Residents should prepare their payer number and property number in advance.
According to the municipality, the new digital form was created as part of preparations for residents to use the tax benefit approved for Ashkelon. The key change is that one certificate now includes not only proof of residency, but also water-payer details and information about an educational institution.
The certificate is issued online. Residents need to enter their payer number and property number; once the process is completed, a signed digital document is sent to the resident’s email address.
The municipality says tens of thousands of residency certificates have already been issued, and many residents are already using the benefit, including retroactively from the beginning of 2026.
For questions about using the tax benefit, the city operates a dedicated municipal hotline at *2660. The hours published by the municipality are 09:00–14:00. Before sending the document to an employer or authority, residents should check that personal details, the payer number and educational-institution information are correct.
