Three tax zones: centre and north dearest, then south and east, then Jaffa and parts of the south. The city-wide average after the 1.626% update is about 72.5.
Per-zone figures were not captured; the range brackets the average. Dwellings over 140 sqm in the Dolphinarium area were approved for a much higher tariff in 2026.
