Ontario status certificate requirements
How long an Ontario condominium corporation has to deliver a status certificate, what the fee cap is, and what a late delivery is taken to mean.
Duty record
What this duty is
A status certificate is the corporation's written answer to a purchaser about a unit and about the corporation itself: arrears, increases, special assessments, litigation, the reserve fund, the insurance.
The period is short, it is counted from the request and the fee together, and the fee itself is capped by regulation, so a corporation cannot buy itself more time by charging more.
Missing it is worse than embarrassing. The statute treats a corporation that does not deliver in time as having stated that there are no arrears, no increases and no special assessments, whether or not that is true.
Authority
Who is responsible, and when it is due
The rules pack puts this on the Treasurer.
Due 10 days after the date of the triggering event.
This duty counts from something only your corporation holds, so it has no worked example from a fiscal year end alone. Inside Board Butler it is dated from your own records.
The duty in this article is Condominium Act, 1998, s.76
Evidence
What has to exist afterwards
A duty is met when there is something to show for it. The rules pack requires a document on file.
Consequence
What happens if you miss it
If the certificate is not delivered within 10 days of the request and fee, the corporation is deemed to have certified that there are no arrears, no increases in common expenses and no special assessments as of the request date.
The pack records no monetary penalty for this one, which does not make it cheap: the cost usually arrives later, through a purchaser, a lender or a tribunal.
Product record
How Board Butler handles it
Board Butler instantiates this obligation for your corporation from the same pack entry this article was built from, dates it from your own fiscal year end and your own records, puts it on the compliance calendar with the role responsible, and attaches the evidence as you produce it rather than asking you to file it afterwards.
Computed from rules pack CA-ON version 2026.3.
