Effective April 1, 2020, application fees are increasing by six per cent for the Assessment Review Board (ARB), the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) and the Licence Appeal Tribunal (LAT).
The increase in fees is necessary to fulfil Tribunals Ontario’s commitment to offset the cost of providing fair, impartial, and high-quality adjudication to Ontarians who have disputes. The fees are still structured so that services are reasonable and accessible.
Please see the new fees listed below.
Assessment Review Board
The residential fee is increasing from $125.00 to $132.50 per appeal, regardless of taxation year.
The non-residential fee is increasing from $300.00 to $318.00 per appeal, regardless of taxation year.
Licence Appeal Tribunal
The application fee is increasing from $100.00 to $106.00.
Landlord and Tenant Board

Fees for copies of documents, hearing recordings, tenant applications for additional units and Rules and Guidelines are not increasing.
The LTB will continue to provide fee waivers to low-income clients to ensure access to justice.
