About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the $15,000 probationary bond covers

Oregon licenses landscaping businesses through its dedicated Landscape Contractors Board (LCB), and conditions the license on a surety bond under ORS 671.690. The $15,000 amount applies only to the probationary All Phase Plus Backflow phase since SB 864 took effect on January 1, 2026; every other landscape contracting business posts $20,000.

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 owner or worker can recover against the bond up to the $15,000 penal sum.

Every non-probationary business posts the $20,000 bond linked below; the $3,000 and $10,000 tiers ended on January 1, 2026
