It is funded through assessment fees that are collected from owners by Condominium Corporations and remitted to the CAO, along with user fees charged by the Condominium Authority Tribunal.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>The CAO is a not-for-profit corporation, governed by an independent Board of Directors that operates under an administrative agreement with the <em>Minister of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement (MPBSDP)</em><em>.</em></p>\n<p>The CAO’s mandated services were established to achieve the vision for informed and engaged condominium communities across Ontario. The road to achieving this vision has been paved by providing value through a digital service model that is accessible and cost-effective, including:</p>\n<p> </p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy-to-use information for condominium communities available 24/7</li>\n<li>Resources, tools and guided steps to resolve common issues collaboratively before they escalate into disputes.</li>\n<li>Dispute resolution services through the Condominium Authority Tribunal – Canada’s first fully online tribunal.</li>\n<li>Easy-to-navigate condominium returns and notice of change systems to help condominium corporations fulfil their legal duties and to remain transparent.</li>\n<li>A searchable Public Registry containing information on every condominium corporation in Ontario.</li>\n<li>Mandatory education and training for condominium directors to help them understand their oversight and legal obligations.</li>\n<li>A mandatory condo buyers’ guide to help Ontario’s residential condominium buyers navigate the process of purchasing and owning their new condominiums.</li>\n<li>Condominium forms that are to be used by owners and condominium corporations under the Act.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">BOARD OF DIRECTORS</span><br></p>\n<p>The CAO is governed by an independent, part-time Board of Directors and is comprised of three ministerial-appointed directors and four Elected Directors.
