About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the landscape bond actually covers

Oregon is one of the few states with a dedicated Landscape Contractors Board (LCB), separate from the Construction Contractors Board. A landscape contracting business is licensed by the LCB and must file a surety bond under ORS 671.690 as a condition of that license.

The bond guarantees you complete work properly and meet your payment obligations under ORS Chapter 671. If you fail to perform or pay as the law requires, an injured party — an owner or a worker — can recover against the bond.

The amount is set by your license tier: ORS 671.690 names $3,000 for a standard applicant, $10,000 for certain hardscape work performed outside of landscaping, $15,000 for larger projects or probationary businesses, and up to $20,000 for the highest tier. Enter the amount that matches your license — the premium starts from $100, and your exact price appears at the application.

ORS 671.690 (Landscape Contractors Board)Under ORS 671.690, a landscape contracting business licensed by the Oregon Landscape Contractors Board must file a surety bond, letter of credit, or other approved security. The amount is tiered by job size and experience — roughly $3,000 for a standard applicant, $10,000 for certain non-landscaping hardscape work, $15,000 for larger projects or probationary businesses, up to $20,000. Confirm the exact figure on your LCB application.
