Gather Your Information

The process of filing a condo return or a notice of change will require you to provide specific information about your condo corporation. As such, you will need to gather the most up-to-date information about your condo corporation before you file.

Invoices & late filings

The Condo Authority invoices corporations for the appropriate filing period after the corporation has filed and accepts payment by credit, debit, Google Pay, direct deposit or cheque. The CAO charges condo corporations a $200 late filing fee for each overdue return.

Condo corporations that do not file their condo returns may also have a Registrar’s Certificate issued against them. This document appears on the Condo Registry’s entry for the condo corporation.

Condo corporations with outstanding condo returns and assessment fees cannot launch a proceeding before the Condominium Authority Tribunal or a court in Ontario without the court’s permission.
