Tarion Warranty

Protecting Your New Home

 

BACK TO THE HOMEPAGE
Tarion, formerly known as the Ontario New Home Warranty Program, was created by the Government of Ontario in 1976 to administer the Ontario New Home Warranties Plan Act. Its primary purpose is to protect consumers of new homes by ensuring that builders abide the provincial legislation. It is financed entirely by builder registration, renewal and home enrollment fees.
 

Tarion has created a Learning Hub for new homeowners so you can better understand the Tarion Warranty Process.
