Oregon requires an approved continuing-education provider for licensed contractors to file a fixed $20,000 bond with the Construction Contractors Board. Ours is $600 flat, which is 3% of the bond amount, and the application is five minutes.
















Provider 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 check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
Provider bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your continuing-education provider application at the Construction Contractors Board. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$20,000 bond × 3% = $600, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Oregon's Construction Contractors Board (CCB) approves the organizations that teach the continuing-education courses licensed contractors must complete. As a condition of becoming an approved provider, the CCB requires a $20,000 surety bond — a backstop that the provider runs its courses honestly and as approved.
It's a three-party arrangement: the provider (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oregon, through the CCB (the obligee). The bond protects the Board and the contractors who take the courses against losses from the provider violating the CE-provider rules.
The bond must stay active for as long as you are an approved provider. Let it lapse and your provider approval can be suspended — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $20,000 filing continuous.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
