    Frequently Asked Questions — Ontario Contractor Compliance

    How does the Ontario Construction Act prompt payment system work?

    Ontario’s prompt payment rules establish strict timelines for payments. Once a contractor submits a "Proper Invoice" to the owner, the owner must pay within 28 days. If the owner disputes any portion, they must issue a Form 1.1 Notice of Non-Payment within 14 days. The contractor then has 7 days to issue a Form 1.2 to their subcontractors if they wish to defer non-payment down the chain.

    What happens if a contractor misses the 21-day non-payment window?

    Missing the 21-day timeline to issue a Form 1.2 Notice of Non-Payment means the contractor becomes legally obligated to pay their subcontractors in full, regardless of whether the owner has paid them. This makes fast, automated access to Form 1.2 builders absolutely critical for business cash flow survival.

    How do you certify and publish a Form 9 in Ontario?

    A payment certifier (such as the project architect or engineer) reviews and signs the Form 9 verifying substantial performance. The contractor must then publish this signed certificate in an industry-recognized construction trade newspaper (like the Daily Commercial News). Publishing triggers the 60-day period for subcontractors to register any liens, after which standard holdback funds can be safely released.
