Oregon residential limited bonds.
$135 flat.

Oregon's Construction Contractors Board sets a fixed $15,000 bond for a residential limited contractor endorsement under ORS 701.081 — the lower-volume residential tier. Ours is $135 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.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Oregon licenses construction contractors through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB). A residential limited contractor is a lower-volume endorsement — the CCB caps annual gross revenue and the number of workers for this tier — and ORS 701.081 sets the bond at $15,000, the smallest residential CCB bond.

The bond is a homeowner-protection guarantee: a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Oregon through the CCB (the obligee), with the homeowners you work 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.

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 $15,000 filing continuous.

ORS 701.081 (residential limited bond)ORS 701.081 conditions an Oregon residential limited contractor endorsement on a $15,000 surety bond filed with the Construction Contractors Board. The CCB limits this tier by annual gross revenue and worker count. Bonding mechanics are in ORS 701.068; the bond pays final orders the CCB issues against residential contractors under ORS 701.145.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Oregon residential limited bond?The premium is $135 — the price our carrier's rate book sets for this fixed $15,000 bond, the same for every contractor. The bond amount is set by ORS 701.081, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $15,000?No. You pay $135. The $15,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the CCB issues a final order against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
What makes a license "limited"?The CCB caps annual gross revenue and the number of workers for the residential limited tier. It is meant for small or part-time contractors; if you grow past the caps, you move to a general or specialty endorsement and re-bond.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — most CCB bonds like this one approve instantly with no credit section at all.
When does it renew?CCB licenses renew every two years. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term, and we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your license never lapses over a missed email.
Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
