About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Oregon's Construction Contractors Board added the construction flagging contractor license in 2017 under ORS 701.470, so individuals and firms can supply construction flaggers — workers who direct traffic around road and construction work — without going through full residential or commercial contractor licensure.

Like every CCB license, it is conditioned on a surety bond filed under ORS 701.068, run to the State of Oregon. The bond stands behind your compliance with contractor law; if a flagging contractor causes damage and a final order or judgment results, the harmed party can recover against the bond. Applicants also carry at least $500,000 in general liability insurance under ORS 701.073.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for the life of the license, so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

ORS 701.470 + ORS 701.068ORS 701.470 requires an applicant for a construction flagging contractor license to obtain a surety bond under ORS 701.068, run to the State of Oregon, plus general liability insurance of at least $500,000. The statute sets the flagging-contractor bond at $20,000; confirm the exact amount on your CCB application, as we issue the figure shown there.
