What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually covers
Oregon licenses construction contractors through the Construction Contractors Board (CCB). A residential specialty contractor — a trade that performs a defined scope rather than acting as the general — carries a residential specialty endorsement, and ORS 701.081 sets the bond at $20,000.
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.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The standard amount is $20,000, but enter whatever figure your CCB application shows; the price is $180 flat regardless, and the application collects no credit information. The bond must stay active for the two-year life of your license.
