Oregon's Construction Contractors Board sets a fixed $25,000 bond for a residential general contractor endorsement under ORS 701.081 — ours is $225 flat, the price the checkout confirms, no formula. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.
















CCB license bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
CCB license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your CCB license application or renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
Oregon licenses construction contractors through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB), and conditions the license on a surety bond sized to your endorsement. For a residential general contractor, ORS 701.081 sets the amount at $25,000. The bond is a homeowner-protection guarantee backing your work on people's homes.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oregon through the CCB (the obligee), with the homeowners you build for as the protected parties. If the CCB issues a final order against you under ORS 701.145, the surety pays up to the bond amount and you repay the surety.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. CCB licenses run on a two-year cycle, and a lapse in your bond suspends your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $25,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit section, because this application doesn't collect credit information.
