About 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 conditions the license on a surety bond sized to your endorsement. For a residential general contractor, ORS 701.081 sets the amount at $25,000. The bond is a homeowner-protection guarantee backing your work on people's homes.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Oregon through the CCB (the obligee), with the homeowners you build for 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 and you repay the surety.

The bond must stay active for the life of your license. CCB licenses run on a two-year cycle, and a lapse in your bond suspends your license — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $25,000 filing continuous.

ORS 701.081 (residential bonds)ORS 701.081 conditions an Oregon residential contractor license on a surety bond filed with the Construction Contractors Board, sized by endorsement — $25,000 for a residential general contractor. Bonding mechanics are in ORS 701.068, and the bond pays final orders the CCB issues against residential contractors under ORS 701.145.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Oregon residential GC bond? +
The premium is $750 — a flat 3% of the fixed $25,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $25,000 is set by ORS 701.081, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $25,000? +
No. You pay $750. The $25,000 is the surety's maximum liability if the CCB issues a final order against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How fast will I have the bond? +
CCB license bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many contractors finish the application and have the bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Smaller fixed-amount CCB bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
CCB licenses renew every two years. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term, and we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out so your license never lapses over a missed email.
