About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the developer bond actually guarantees

Oregon's Construction Contractors Board (CCB) licenses developers as well as builders. A commercial developer — someone who arranges for construction on commercial property they own or control, then sells it — carries a developer endorsement, and ORS 701.084 sets the bond at $25,000.

The developer bond is a protection guarantee for the people you build for and sell to: it's a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Oregon through the CCB (the obligee). If the CCB issues a final order against you under ORS 701.146, 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 developer endorsement is distinct from a contractor endorsement; if you both develop and contract, the CCB may require the appropriate bond for each role. The bond must stay active for the two-year life of your license.

ORS 701.084 (commercial developer bond)ORS 701.084 conditions an Oregon commercial developer endorsement on a $25,000 surety bond filed with the Construction Contractors Board. A "developer" is defined in ORS 701.005 as one who arranges for construction on property they own or control and then sells it. Bonding mechanics are in ORS 701.068; the bond pays final orders the CCB issues under ORS 701.146.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability to the CCB and harmed parties; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who is a "developer" under the CCB? +
Under ORS 701.005, a developer arranges for construction on property they own or control and then sells it. The CCB licenses developers with a developer endorsement, separate from a contractor endorsement.
Do I need both a developer and a contractor bond? +
It depends on what you do. If you only develop, the developer bond covers you. If you also act as a contractor, the CCB may require a contractor bond for that role too — send us your endorsements and we'll confirm.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It's the only extra step beyond the application, and it informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way.
When does it renew? +
CCB licenses renew every two years. Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years — your choice at purchase. You'll get renewal notices 60 and 30 days before expiration, and the bond must stay active for your endorsement to stay valid.
