More than 375,000 homes are currently enrolled in the warranty program.

Every year about 55,000 new homes are enrolled.

A home is one of life's biggest purchases. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, Tarion provides Ontario's new home buyers and owners with peace of mind that their purchase is safeguarded through the province's new home warranty and protection program.
