The Israel Land Authority (ILA), reestablished in 2013, is responsible for managing the land in the country according to the policy set by the Israel Land Council. The authority's goals include developing land for the benefit of the public, protecting property owners' rights, and allocating land for various uses such as housing, employment, and public housing. The authority works to reduce bureaucracy, increase the stock of land for construction, and preserve the environment, while balancing current and future needs. The authority's services include rights registration, property transfer, issuing building permits, and marketing land through tenders. The tenders are published on the authority's website and in newspapers, and their results are available to the public. ILA also promotes long-term planning of Israel's lands, in cooperation with local authorities and professionals. The law governing the authority's activities establishes the principles of land policy and restricts the sale of Israel's lands, while safeguarding national and public interests.
