Oregon licenses landscaping businesses through its own Landscape Contractors Board (LCB) — not the CCB — and conditions the license on a surety bond under ORS 671.690. The bond amount is $20,000 for every landscape contracting business since January 1, 2026 (SB 864), or $15,000 on the probationary All Phase Plus Backflow phase; the premium is 1% of the amount, and your exact price appears at the application.
















No underwriting queue for the standard landscape bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the LCB. Here is the whole thing:
Your business details, the bond amount ($20,000, or $15,000 if probationary), and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No waiting for most applicants — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. The application collects no credit information; larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond to the Landscape Contractors Board with your license application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the board insists.
Oregon is one of the few states with a dedicated Landscape Contractors Board (LCB), separate from the Construction Contractors Board. A landscape contracting business is licensed by the LCB and must file a surety bond under ORS 671.690 as a condition of that license.
The bond guarantees you complete work properly and meet your payment obligations under ORS Chapter 671. If you fail to perform or pay as the law requires, an injured party — an owner or a worker — can recover against the bond.
Since January 1, 2026 (SB 864) ORS 671.690 sets one $20,000 bond for every landscape contracting business, and the LCB’s rule (OAR 808-003-0613) keeps $15,000 only for the probationary All Phase Plus Backflow phase. Enter the amount that matches your license — the premium starts from $100, and your exact price appears at the application.
Submit the application with the bond amount ($20,000, or $15,000 if probationary) — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the LCB.
