TARION Warranty Corp. (formerly known as Ontario New Home Warranty Program) provides a warranty on all new homes and condominiums constructed in Ontario. Hyde Park Homes is proud to be licensed as a new home builder by TARION Warranty Corp., and all of our projects are fully covered by the TARION Warranty Corp. warranties.

Purchasers of new homes in Ontario benefit from both deposit protection and warranty coverage. Deposit protection begins the moment that a deposit is paid. For freehold houses, the maximum coverage for deposits is $40,000. Warranty coverage takes effect on the date of possession and remains in effect, even if the house is sold to another person, for the duration of the warranty period. We have summarized below the current warranty coverages and deposit protection.
