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

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.
