About Tarion

Since 1976, Tarion has provided new home warranty protection to more than 2 million Ontario homes.

This warranty protection is provided by Ontario’s builders and lasts up to seven years. It is backstopped by Tarion. More than 375,000 homes are currently enrolled in the warranty program. Every year about 55,000 new homes are enrolled.
