30 Day Form
Timeline: You can submit a 30-Day Form during the first 30 days of possession. Note: Effective September 14, 2020, a 10-day grace period has been added to the 30-Day Form submission period.
Purpose: This form is used to list any unresolved warranty items you and your builder identified during your pre-delivery inspection, as well as any new items that have arisen since you took possession of your home.
Year-End Form
Timeline: You can submit a Year-End Form during the last 30 days of the first year of possession. Note: Effective September 14, 2020, a 10-day grace period has been added to the Year-End Form submission period where you have written evidence that you reported items to your builder during the first-year warranty period.
Purpose: This form lists outstanding warranty items to date. This is your final opportunity to report items covered by the one-year warranty to Tarion. If you do not submit a Year-End Form before the deadline, you may risk not having certain items covered by the warranty. Only one Year-End Form will be accepted.
Delayed Closing/Occupancy Form
Timeline: You can submit this form within one year of the date you take possession/occupancy.

Second Year Form
Timeline: You can submit a Second-Year Form at any time during the second year of possession.
Purpose: Use this form to list any items that are covered under the two-year warranty. Keep in mind that you are allowed to submit as many Second-Year Forms as necessary during this period.
Major Structural Defect Form
Timeline: You can submit a Major Structural Defect Form any time after the second year of possession but no later than seven years from the date of possession.
Purpose: Use this form to report any items that are covered under the seven-year major structural defect warranty. More than one Major Structural Defect Form may be submitted.
