It is formed by a double displacement reaction between cobalt(II) sulfate and barium chlorate, barium sulfate precipitates and cobalt chlorate can be crystallized out of the filtrate.

CoSO₄ + Ba(ClO₃)₂ → BaSO₄ + Co(ClO₃)₂

It is also possible to make it by the reaction of any chlorate with a cobalt(II) salt, however the pure product is harder to separate.

It is an oxidant, as are all chlorates.
