About this bond

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.

ORS 701.084ORS 701.084 requires a commercial general contractor Level 1 to obtain a surety bond under ORS 701.068 in the amount of $80,000, for the exclusive purpose of paying final orders and arbitration awards of the Construction Contractors Board. Commercial Level 1 contractors must also carry general liability insurance of at least $500,000. Other CCB endorsement levels carry different bond amounts — confirm your level on your application.

FAQs

Common questions.

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

Do I pay the $80,000? +
No. You pay $2,400 — the flat 3% of the bond amount. The $80,000 is the surety's maximum liability for CCB orders and awards against you; it's not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Who requires this bond? +
The Oregon Construction Contractors Board requires it as a condition of a commercial general contractor Level 1 license, under ORS 701.084. No active bond, no license.
What does the bond cover? +
Only the payment of final orders and arbitration awards the CCB issues against you. If you don’t pay a valid order or award, the harmed party can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety.
Is there a credit check? +
Yes — one soft credit pull, which never affects your score. It informs approval, not price. The rate is a flat 3% either way: credit can affect whether we approve the bond, never what it costs.
Is this the same as my liability insurance? +
No. The bond and the general liability insurance are separate CCB requirements. Commercial Level 1 contractors carry both — the $80,000 bond under ORS 701.084 and at least $500,000 in general liability coverage.
