Herzliya: Negative Betterment Levy
Client Savings
₪841,350+
The binding arbitrator accepted Gil Ben Galim's position and determined that the appreciation was negative — the company was released from the full payment.
Claimed Appreciation

The Challenge
The local committee in Herzliya demanded a betterment levy of ₪841,350 (plus indexation) from Hila Group for a TAMA 38/2 project, after the committee's appraiser determined an appreciation of ₪1,327,900.
The Solution
Gil Ben Galim, representing the developer, argued that no exploitation of rights beyond those granted under TAMA was required, and therefore no betterment levy obligation applied — the new-state calculation produced a negative appreciation.
The Result
The binding arbitrator accepted Gil Ben Galim's position and determined that the appreciation was negative — the company was released from the full payment.
