Based on the size of the company, calculated as follows: |
All applications are submitted online through the CMRAO’s website. Applicants create a CMRAO account online and follow a guided process. As part of the process, applicants are required to pay the $150 application fee online using debit or credit card.
After an application has been reviewed and approved, the applicant will be emailed an approval notice and required to pay their annual fee. CMRAO will not issue the licence until it has received the annual fee. If an application for a licence is not approved, no further charges will be due. The application fee is non-refundable.
Individual licensees (General Licence, Transitional General Licence, Limited Licence) will login to their CMRAO account online and pay their annual fee using a debit or credit card. Condominium management providers may pay their annual licensing fee online or by mailing a cheque to CMRAO.
All licensed condominium management providers (businesses) are required to pay an annual licensing fee of $799 plus $327 for each individual they employ as of May 31 of the previous licensing year who holds a General Licence, Transitional General Licence, or Limited Licence. This calculation is a way of assessing the size and scope of condominium management services offered by a firm, and therefore the complexity of work that will be required to regulate the firm and its licensees.
CMRAO will calculate the annual licensing fees for providers based on employment information reported by the providers and individual licensees as of May 31 each year. CMRAO will not process adjustments or refunds.
It is important to note that all condominium management providers are required to notify the CMRAO’s registrar within five days of the date of commencement or termination of the employment of every condominium manager that the provider employs and, in the case of termination of employment of a condominium manager, the reason for the termination. Condominium Management Providers should not wait until the renewal period to update this information.
In the case of new applications, the fee is calculated based on the number of licensed condominium managers employed by the provider at the time that the application is approved.
All licences expire unless they are renewed annually. The annual expiry date for all licences is June 30.
CMRAO’s Registrar accepts applications for renewal each year during the month of June. Licensees are required to login to their CMRAO online account, complete their renewal application, and pay their annual fee.
Annual licensing fees for new licences are pro-rated based on the number of days remaining in the current licensing year from the date that the application is approved. In the case of new General Licence applications, the pro-rated annual fee also incorporates the annual fee that was paid by the applicant for the current licensing year when the applicant renewed their Limited Licence or Transitional General Licence.
Limited Licence Example:
Condominium Management Provider Example:
General Licence Example 1:
Because the annual licensing fee for a General Licence is the same as the annual licensing fee for a Transitional General Licence and Sally already paid this amount when she renewed her Transitional General Licence in June, there is no outstanding fee for the remainder of the licensing year. Sally will be required to renew her General Licence during the upcoming month of June and pay the full annual licensing fee for a General Licence at that time.
General Licence Example 2:
After John pays the fee of $71.19 he will receive his General Licence. John will be required to renew his General Licence during the upcoming month of June and pay the full annual licensing fee for a General Licence at that time.
All examples above assume a 365-day licensing year which runs from July 1 to June 30.
