Official summary of the law (Knesset)

The Planning and Building Law (Amendment No. 117 – Temporary Provision), 2017 was passed by the Knesset on 26 July 2017. The Law establishes that a local committee will be required to grant a relief for the addition of residential apartments, by way of splitting a ground-attached apartment into one additional apartment, provided that conditions specified in the Law are met, including with regard to the area of the apartments to be added as a result of the relief. At the same time, it is established that a local committee may determine, after being presented with a written opinion from the committee's engineer, the maximum number of residential apartments it will permit to be split within all or part of its planning area, taking into account public institutions, open spaces, infrastructure, and parking areas existing in each area within the planning region, provided that the stated number shall not be less than 20% of the number of ground-attached apartments within its jurisdiction. It is further established that a reduced betterment levy will apply to the split, at a rate of two-thirds of the rate currently set in law, with half to be paid upon granting the relief and the other half to be paid only upon realization of the rights in the property, and that it will not be possible to require the construction of a protected space (mamad) in the new apartment as a condition for granting the relief.
