OR home energy score bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
Oregon's Construction Contractors Board requires a home energy performance score contractor to file a $15,000 surety bond before it issues the endorsement. Three percent of $15,000 is $450 — but our $275 minimum is lower, so you pay $275. The application is five minutes, with no credit check on 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 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.
