Oregon contractor license requirements

Before hiring contractors in Oregon, you need to verify they maintain proper credentials. Most Oregon contractors must be licensed by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). Oregon contractors are often required to have:

  • A valid CCB license (required for most construction work on residential or commercial structures)
  • A surety bond filed with the CCB ($15,000 for residential contractors; $25,000 for commercial contractors)
  • Active general liability insurance coverage (Certificate of Insurance)
  • Workers' compensation insurance (if they have employees)
  • Tax documentation (such as W-9 forms)

Oregon CCB license classifications

The CCB issues several license types based on the scope of work and whether the project is residential or commercial. TrackMyVendor tracks all of them.

License Type Scope Required Bond
Residential General ContractorGeneral construction on single-family and small multi-family residential structures$15,000
Commercial General ContractorGeneral construction on commercial buildings and large multi-family residential$25,000
Residential Specialty ContractorSpecialty trade work (roofing, flooring, HVAC, etc.) on residential structures$15,000
Commercial Specialty ContractorSpecialty trade work on commercial structures$25,000
Limited Residential ContractorNarrow-scope residential work (e.g. window replacement, gutter installation)$15,000
Limited Commercial ContractorNarrow-scope commercial work$25,000

Oregon's three-agency licensing system

Oregon is unique in that not all construction trades are regulated by the CCB. Two additional agencies handle specialty trade licensing:

Oregon Building Codes Division (BCD)

Electrical contractors must be licensed through the BCD's Electrical Program — not the CCB. A sub can hold a CCB license and still lack the electrical license needed for that specific trade.

Oregon State Plumbers Board

Plumbing contractors are licensed through a separate Plumbers Board, also independent of the CCB. Always verify the specific license for the trade being performed.

TrackMyVendor tracks CCB licenses and helps you manage COI and document compliance across all your Oregon vendors — regardless of which agency issued their credential.

Oregon contractor license lookup FAQ

How does Oregon contractor license verification work?
TrackMyVendor syncs with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) database. When you add a vendor, you can search for their CCB number and we'll automatically verify it against official state records, track expiration dates, and alert you to any status changes including revocations.
What Oregon CCB license types does TrackMyVendor cover?
TrackMyVendor covers all CCB license types: Residential General Contractor, Commercial General Contractor, Residential Specialty Contractor, Commercial Specialty Contractor, Limited Residential Contractor, and Limited Commercial Contractor. Our database is updated regularly from official CCB records.
What happens when an Oregon CCB license expires or gets revoked?
You'll receive email reminders at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before a license expires. Oregon CCB licenses renew annually, so with a large roster of subs, the renewal cycle is constant. If a license is revoked or suspended by the CCB, the status updates automatically in TrackMyVendor.
What does an Oregon CCB number look like?
Oregon CCB numbers are simple 5-digit numbers (for example, 12345). You can verify a CCB license at oregon.gov/ccb using the contractor's CCB number, business name, or owner name.
Do Oregon electricians and plumbers need a CCB license?
No — Oregon uses a three-agency system. Electrical contractors are licensed through the Oregon Building Codes Division (BCD), and plumbing contractors are licensed through the Oregon State Plumbers Board. Neither requires a CCB license for their specific trade. Always verify the specific credential for the trade being performed.
Can I track multiple Oregon licenses per vendor?
Yes — you can track multiple licenses per vendor. This is common for Oregon contractors who hold both a CCB license and manage COIs or bonds separately, or who work across residential and commercial scopes.
