Forms, court lists and notices about the former SIREG buildings almost never use street addresses. They use the condo corporation's legal name and number. If you know yours, you can tell in seconds whether a court order or a notice applies to your unit.
What the name looks like
In Ontario, every condominium is a separate legal entity called a condominium corporation. Its name combines the registry area and a number, for example "Middlesex Standard Condominium Corporation No. 505", usually shortened to MSCC 505.
Where do I look it up?
- The CAO public registry. The Condominium Authority of Ontario runs a free online registry (CAO condo registry search). You can search by corporation name, number or street address. A record normally shows the legal name, the address, the number of units and the corporation's address for service (where official papers are sent).
- Your own paperwork. The corporation name and number appear on your status certificate, your notices of owners' meetings (including AGM packages), your common-expense (condo fee) statements and your parcel register from the land registry.
- Our building pages. The former SIREG buildings we track are listed on our Projects page.
What if the registry looks wrong?
Corporations file and update their own registry information. If the record is out of date, for example it still lists directors who have resigned, the corporation (or whoever is now running it) is responsible for correcting it.
