$450 flat. Soft pull.
Oregon certifies home inspectors through the Construction Contractors Board, and a home inspector services endorsement carries a fixed $15,000 bond under ORS 701.081. Ours is $450 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every inspector. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oregon certifies home inspectors through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB). A certified home inspector carries a home inspector services endorsement, and ORS 701.081 sets the bond for this endorsement at $15,000. (This is the CCB endorsement bond; certification itself is governed by the home inspector certification statutes.)
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Oregon through the CCB (the obligee), with the buyers and homeowners who rely on your inspections as the protected parties. If the CCB issues a final order against you under ORS 701.145, the surety pays up to the bond amount.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety, and it is separate from any errors-and-omissions coverage you carry. The bond must stay active for the two-year life of your endorsement.
