What it is and who needs it.
What the $15,000 probationary bond covers
Oregon licenses landscaping businesses through its dedicated Landscape Contractors Board (LCB), and conditions the license on a surety bond under ORS 671.690. The $15,000 amount applies only to the probationary All Phase Plus Backflow phase since SB 864 took effect on January 1, 2026; every other landscape contracting business posts $20,000.
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 owner or worker can recover against the bond up to the $15,000 penal sum.
Every non-probationary business posts the $20,000 bond linked below; the $3,000 and $10,000 tiers ended on January 1, 2026

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.
Renewal falls on the statutory date, October 8, in the year your term ends.
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 LCB. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with the Landscape Contractors Board. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What sets the price
The premium is 1% of the bond amount, $100 minimum: the amount the obligee sets moves the price, not your business profile.
