CMRAO Blog

Every year licensees must pay an annual licence fee to renew their CMRAO licence. 

So where do these licensing fees go? 

The CMRAO was created to protect the public’s interest in Ontario’s rapidly growing condominium sector. Nearly 50% of the new homes being built in Ontario are condominium units, and they represent large investments as financial assets and as places where people make their homes. 

The CMRAO’s licensing and compliance team is made up of a group of highly knowledgeable individuals. Our coordinators are trained in condominium law and work with condominium legislation daily when gathering information about complaint files and explaining licensing requirements with licensees and potential applicants.

We receive many questions about whether licensees will receive a laminated licence card in the mail for the 2019–20 licensing year. 

The CMRAO receives a number of inquiries related to records management. Creating, maintaining, and accessing records is an essential function in any business or organization. Record-keeping is important, and in the condominium industry specifically, records enable accountability between condo managers and their clients, and between condo managers and the CMRAO.
