The Condominium Authority of Ontario (CAO) was created in 2017 to provide information, education, and dispute resolution services to Ontario's growing condominium community. It was established following public consultations in 2012 and legislative changes in 2015. The CAO is funded through annual fees paid by condo owners and provides various online resources, education and training for condo directors, and a three-stage dispute resolution process including mediation and a new online tribunal.
