What is TARION?

Tarion is tasked with protecting buyers of new homes to ensure that they get what they paid for their new homes.

To do this, Tarion requires that home builders enrol a new home with a warranty which covers the home from major defects in the structure, workmanship and materials.

As a regulator of Ontario’s new home building industry, Tarion registers new home builders and vendors, enrols new homes for warranty coverage, investigates illegal building practices, resolves warranty disputes between builders/vendors and homeowners, and promotes high standards of construction among Ontario’s new home builders.
