Oregon contractors are required to carry general liability insurance ($100K–$2M depending on license type) and a surety bond ($15K–$80K). Both have independent expiration dates — an Active license does not guarantee current coverage.
Oregon contractors usually display their CCB number on estimates, contracts, or advertisements. It appears as "CCB #" followed by a license number. Learn where to find it →
Type or paste the CCB number into the search box. No registration required.
See license status, bond expiration, and insurance validity - not just whether a license exists. Active status alone is not enough. OR CCB surfaces the details the official portal doesn't show at a glance.
A license can show as Active while the bond or insurance has already lapsed. The official CCB portal doesn't flag this clearly. OR CCB shows bond and insurance expiration dates alongside license status - so you see the full picture, not just a status check.
If a contractor's bond or insurance lapses, you lose financial protection - even if the license status still shows Active. Oregon homeowners lose thousands of dollars each year by relying on status alone without checking expiration dates. Contractors are also required to carry workers' compensation insurance if they have employees - verify this separately from the CCB record.
Most contractor disputes in Oregon involve a detail that was visible in the public record before the contract was signed. Enter the CCB number now - before you commit to anything.
The official Oregon CCB search is a compliance registry - it was built to track licensing, not to help homeowners evaluate contractor risk. OR CCB is an independent interpretation layer built on the same public data, designed for the moment before you hire.

A CCB (Construction Contractors Board) license is required by Oregon law for any person or business paid to build, repair, or improve a residential or commercial structure. It confirms the contractor holds a surety bond and liability insurance. Without a valid CCB license, a contractor cannot legally work on your home in Oregon, and you lose important legal protections if something goes wrong. Learn more about CCB numbers →
Oregon contractors must display their CCB # on all estimates, contracts, invoices, and advertising. Look for "CCB #" or "CCB License" followed by a number - usually 4 to 6 digits. You can also ask the contractor directly, or search by name on CCB Lookup. If a contractor refuses to provide their CCB number, do not hire them. How to find a CCB number →
Active means the CCB license is currently valid and the contractor is registered with the Oregon CCB. But Active does not mean the bond and insurance are also current. Both have independent expiration dates. A license can show Active while the bond or insurance has already lapsed - leaving you with no financial protection if something goes wrong. Always check all three expiration dates, not just the license status.
Verify the CCB license is Active and check bond and insurance expiration dates. Then ask for a Certificate of Insurance (COI) naming you as additional insured, a written contract with the CCB number, and proof of workers' compensation coverage if they employ workers. General liability insurance minimums in Oregon range from $100,000 to $2 million depending on license type.

A surety bond protects you if the contractor fails to complete the work or violates Oregon CCB regulations - you can file a claim to recover financial losses. Liability insurance covers property damage or injuries that occur during the project. Oregon law requires contractors to carry both. Always verify that neither has expired before signing a contract.

Yes. Under Oregon HB 4089 (2026), intentionally using another contractor's CCB number without authorization, or using any CCB number with intent to deceive the public, is now a Class C felony - upgraded from a Class A misdemeanor. This applies to contracts, estimates, and advertising. Source: HB 4089, Oregon Legislature 2026 →
