About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually covers

Oregon licenses construction contractors through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB). A residential specialty contractor — a trade that performs a defined scope rather than acting as the general — carries a residential specialty endorsement, and ORS 701.081 sets the bond at $20,000.

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.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The standard amount is $20,000, but enter whatever figure your CCB application shows; the price is $180 flat regardless, and the application collects no credit information. The bond must stay active for the two-year life of your license.

ORS 701.081 (residential specialty bond)ORS 701.081 conditions an Oregon residential specialty contractor endorsement on a $20,000 surety bond filed with the Construction Contractors Board. Bonding mechanics are in ORS 701.068, and the bond pays final orders the CCB issues against residential contractors under ORS 701.145. Confirm the amount on your CCB application.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Oregon residential specialty bond?The premium is $180 flat, set by our carrier's rate book for this bond — the same price no matter what amount the CCB requires. The standard amount for this endorsement is $20,000 under ORS 701.081.
Do I pay the $20,000?No. You pay $180. The $20,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the CCB issues a final order against the bond; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information — most residential specialty bonds approve instantly with no credit section at all. If a quick check ever needs to run, it's a soft pull only and never affects your score.
What does "specialty" mean here?A specialty contractor performs a defined trade scope — electrical, plumbing, roofing, HVAC, and the like — rather than acting as the general contractor on the whole project. The CCB endorses you for the work you do.
When does it renew?CCB licenses renew every two years, and the bond must stay active for the endorsement to stay valid. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your license never lapses over a missed email.
