Ontario Expropriations Act Deadlines

Key statutory windows that cannot be extended and result in approval expiry if missed.

3-Month Registration Window (s.9)

Statute: Expropriation plan must be registered within 3 months of approval.

s.9(2): "Where an expropriation plan is not registered within three months after the approval becomes final, the approval expires and is of no effect."

Countdown calculation:

• Approval date: Date approving authority signs approval certificate (not application date)
• Expiry date: Approval date + 90 days (calendar days, not business days)
• Critical: If day 90 falls on weekend/holiday, deadline does NOT extend - must register before weekend
