2025 Fee Increase Consultation

May 7, 2025
Dealer Bulletins

The Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC) is proposing a fee increase to ensure the organization has the necessary resources to fulfill its mandate pursuant to the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act (MVDA), 2002. Input from registered dealers and salespersons is being requested as part of this process.

The OMVIC Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing OMVIC’s financial stability and has the authority to set fees. These adjustments are necessary to maintain and enhance OMVIC’s operational capabilities, fund new strategic initiatives, and ensure long-term financial stability. The proposed increases will support OMVIC’s consumer protection efforts to ensure a fair, safe, and informed marketplace for motor vehicle sales in Ontario.

Fees are OMVIC’s main source of revenue. The following fee increases are being proposed:

  • Registration fees: An increase of approximately 2.5 per cent to reflect inflation since the last fee review in 2023.  Key changes include:
    • The salesperson renewal fee, payable every two years, would increase from $200.00 to $205.00.
    • The dealer renewal fee, payable annually, would increase from $385.00 to $392.00.
    • All other registration fee types would increase by the same inflation rate.
  • Transaction fee:
    • An increase from $12.50 to $22.00.

No changes are proposed to late fees or the new dealer fee payable to the Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund.

For additional information on the proposed fee increases, please visit our website.

Implementation of the updated fees is planned for September 1, 2025.
