What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oregon licenses construction contractors through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB), and the home energy performance score endorsement under ORS 701.534 authorizes the holder to assign home energy performance scores. Like every CCB license, it is conditioned on a surety bond filed with the Board.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your compliance with Oregon contractor law and CCB rules. It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oregon (the obligee), with harmed customers as the protected parties. If a final CCB order finds you owe damages, the harmed party can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for the life of your license. Let it lapse and the CCB can suspend the license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $15,000 filing continuous.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $15,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the CCB. Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to file with your Construction Contractors Board license or endorsement. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $135 at the $15,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
