Local Government

As urban populations climb, the pressure on local municipalities to meet needs and provide services also rises. With multiple commercial issues vying for attention, clients operating in this sector benefit from partnering with experts with in-depth knowledge of the workings of local government. Tadmor Levy & Co. is your partner.

We are particularly well equipped to provide comprehensive support to private commercial and industrial entities in their dealings with the municipalities, including in the fields of planning and construction, property tax and excises. Our firm benefits from its established longstanding relationships with major municipalities, where we provide comprehensive advice, legal support and representation across a broad range of fields to municipalities and municipality companies.

We are well known for our expertise in municipal taxation, property tax, the formulation of property tax orders, representation in legal proceedings (reservations, appeals, property tax appeals), initiating property tax collection procedures, and collection from assessed parties. We also represent clients in class actions relating to property tax and excises, such as betterment excise.

We are heavily involved in mandatory municipal payments, including development and infrastructure surcharges, road and sidewalk tolls, sewage excises, water and channeling excises. We also advise on the impact of formulating by-laws and represent local authorities in administrative proceedings and appeals in these areas.

Our comprehensive service includes legal counsel to local planning and construction committees and to local authorities in their legal proceedings.

We are a go-to for administrative proceedings, including on behalf of municipalities against government ministries, on by-laws, budgets, taxation, education, water, infrastructure, and more; as well as court, arbitration and mediation civil procedures in contractual monetary claims, tort and labor procedures.
