**About Tarion**

Since 1976, Tarion has served new home buyers and new homeowners by ensuring that one of their life's biggest investments is protected.

More than 375,000 homes are currently enrolled in the warranty program. Every year about 55,000 new homes are enrolled.

**How We Make a Difference**

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.

Almost every new home in the province is covered by a new home warranty. Tarion ensures consumer protection by providing free tools, guides and resources to help homeowners understand their builder's warranty and navigate warranty claims with confidence.
If a builder does not meet their warranty commitments, Tarion offers guidance to help homeowners ensure they receive the coverage they're entitled to, and when necessary, steps in to help resolve warranty claims.
