Why Toronto Homeowners Must Prioritize Oil Tank Removal

The TSSA “3-Year Rule”

Under the latest TSSA Fuel Oil Code Adoption Document (CAD), any fuel oil tank — aboveground or underground — that has been inactive for three years or more is now classified as high-risk non-compliance and must be professionally removed.

Dormant systems no longer qualify for grandfathered status under Ontario regulations.

Insurance & Real Estate Requirements in Toronto

Most insurers now refuse coverage for:

  • Exterior tanks over 15 years old
  • Interior tanks over 20–25 years old

Toronto mortgage lenders increasingly require an official Certificate of Tank Removal before approving property transfers or refinances.

Without documentation, home sales can stall — or collapse entirely.

Escalating Environmental & Soil Disposal Costs

A single oil leak can contaminate soil and groundwater beneath your home. In 2025:

  • Ontario Excess Soil Registry fees increased by 30%
  • Legal disposal of contaminated soil has become extremely costly
  • Environmental cleanup costs in Toronto regularly exceed $100,000

Early removal dramatically reduces risk and long-term liability.
