OR commercial contractor bonds.
$800.
A commercial general contractor Level 1 in Oregon must file an $80,000 surety bond with the Construction Contractors Board under ORS 701.084. Ours is $800 — the price you see is the checkout price, identical for every contractor. A quick soft credit check may apply — never a hard inquiry, no impact on your score — and the bond e-signs in 1–2 business days.

Three steps to licensed.
Your CCB license is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Apply once, online
Business details, owner information, effective date. That is the application — the only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Reviewed & approved
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. If a credit check runs, it is a soft pull that never affects your score.
E-sign & file with the CCB
If you are already registered with the CCB, we file the bond electronically; for a new application, you print and submit the executed bond with your CCB paperwork. Wet-ink originals on request.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oregon licenses construction contractors through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB), and conditions a commercial general contractor Level 1 license on an $80,000 surety bond under ORS 701.084. The bond exists for one purpose: paying final orders and arbitration awards the CCB issues against you.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Oregon together with anyone who wins a CCB order or award against you (the protected parties). If you don't pay a valid final order or award, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The bond is separate from the general liability insurance ORS 701 also requires (at least $500,000 for commercial Level 1). Contractors who pay their CCB orders treat the bond as a license formality.
