Why We Built this Ontario Judicial Regions Map

Ontario’s civil court system is divided into eight regions. Knowing which one you belong to is important. Each Superior Court judicial region has its own courthouses, scheduling systems, and filing offices. If you file your case in the wrong region, the other party can ask the court to transfer it. That creates delays and extra costs.

We built this map to help you avoid that problem. It shows you exactly where to file before you start your case. For example, the Rules of the Small Claims Court say that you must file your claim in the territorial division closest to where the defendant lives or does business. Our map makes that easy to see. It removes confusion and helps Ontarians start their cases with confidence.

Boundaries obtained from official sources. Use as a reference tool only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this map?

To find your judicial region, you enter an address into the map tool and it immediately shows you which region the address falls into, helping you determine where to file.

How many judicial regions are there in Ontario?

Ontario is divided into eight judicial regions for the purpose of the Superior Court’s administrative and filing rules, and the judicial regions map reflects these divisions.
