OR residential limited bonds.
$450. Five minutes.
Oregon's Construction Contractors Board sets a fixed $15,000 bond for a residential limited contractor endorsement under ORS 701.081 — the lower-volume residential tier. Ours is $450 flat, exactly 3% of the bond amount. The application is five minutes, and CCB license bonds are among the fastest things we issue.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Oregon licenses construction contractors through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB). A residential limited contractor is a lower-volume endorsement — the CCB caps annual gross revenue and the number of workers for this tier — and ORS 701.081 sets the bond at $15,000, the smallest residential CCB bond.
The bond is a homeowner-protection guarantee: a three-party arrangement among you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Oregon through the CCB (the obligee), with the homeowners you work 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.
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 $15,000 filing continuous.
