Invoices, late filings & late payments

The Condo Authority invoices corporations for the appropriate filing period after the corporation has filed and the payment of all outstanding invoices is required to file the next annual returns. We accept payment by credit, debit, Google Pay or direct deposit.

Late filing fees and late payment fees

Late filing fee: Corporations must pay a $200 fee per late return. Returns are late if filed after the March 31 yearly deadline or 150 days after the corporation’s registration.

Late payment fee: Corporations that do not pay their fees within 90 days of the invoice date must pay an additional $50 fee plus 5 per cent of the outstanding balance and 2 per cent interest monthly up to 12 months.

Registrar’s Certificate

The CAO may post this certificate on your corporation’s page in the Condo Registry certifying that the corporation has not met its filing obligations under the Condo Act.

Loss of condo corporation’s ability to sue

Condo corporations with outstanding fees cannot file a case with the Condominium Authority Tribunal or any court in Ontario without the court’s permission.
