The Land Registry (Tabu)
A Land Registry extract is an official record of information registered for a property. It may identify the parcel or condominium sub-unit, rights holders, mortgages, cautions and other registered entries. If the property is registered there, the current extract is a central starting point.
Israel Land Authority records
Many properties involve state-managed land and leasehold rights. The Israel Land Authority can issue an authorization of rights or, for some properties, a notice of registration. The ILA itself directs users to Tabu for a property already registered in the Land Registry.
Housing or registering companies
In some projects, a company maintains the operative rights record while registration of a subdivision, condominium or individual rights is incomplete. The relevant confirmation and transfer procedure must then be obtained from that company, sometimes together with ILA material.
Why the source matters
- It determines which record must be reviewed.
- It affects whether a cautionary note can be registered.
- It influences the documents, consents and fees required for transfer.
- It may reveal that the seller holds leasehold or contractual rights rather than registered ownership.
