Israeli Form 4 (occupancy approval)
Also known as: טופס 4 · Form 4 Israel
The Israeli occupancy-approval certificate issued by the local planning committee that allows a new building to be occupied. Requires a signed accessibility opinion from a MATOS consultant.
Form 4 (טופס 4) is Israel's occupancy-approval certificate — without it, a new building cannot legally be occupied or connected to permanent utilities. It's the moment a construction project transitions from "built" to "in use."
A signed positive accessibility opinion from a MATOS consultant is one of the prerequisites for Form 4. This is where accessibility failures in construction most commonly stall projects — issues that could have been caught at plan-review stage instead surface at final inspection with 10× the cost to fix.
