Oregon CCB License Search: What to Verify

CCB license status
General liability insurance
Surety bond expiration
Workers' compensation

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.

How to Look Up an Oregon CCB License

1

Find the CCB number

Oregon contractors usually display their CCB number on estimates, contracts, or advertisements. It appears as "CCB #" followed by a license number. How to find an Oregon CCB number →

2

Enter the CCB number

Type or paste the CCB number into the search box. No registration required.

3

Check the license status

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.

Why check a contractor's license before you hire?

🛡️

Active license ≠ active coverage - verify both

A license can show as Active while the bond or insurance has already lapsed. OR CCB shows bond and insurance expiration dates alongside license status - so you see the full picture, not just a status check.

💰

Expired coverage = no protection, even with an Active license

If a contractor's bond or insurance lapses, you lose financial protection - even if the license status still shows Active. An active license does not by itself tell you whether the contractor's bond or insurance coverage is currently valid. Check the expiration dates before signing. Contractors are also required to carry workers' compensation insurance if they have employees - verify this separately from the CCB record.

30 seconds before signing, not after

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.

Common questions

What is a CCB license?

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. Oregon CCB number guide →

How do I find a contractor's CCB number?

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 →

⚠️ What does "Active" status actually mean - and what it doesn't

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.

What should I ask a contractor before signing in Oregon?

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.

How accurate is OR CCB Lookup data?

OR CCB Lookup data is sourced directly from the Oregon Construction Contractors Board Open Data Portal and updated daily. It reflects official license status, bond, and insurance information as published by the registry.

While highly accurate, this tool is for informational purposes only and should not replace official verification with the Oregon CCB for legal or enforcement decisions.

What is the difference between bond and insurance?

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.

...Always verify that neither has expired before signing a contract. Before work starts, ask the contractor for a Certificate of Insurance (COI) listing your property as an additional insured location.

Is OR CCB the official Oregon government site?

No. OR CCB is an independent, free tool created by Space Bits S.L. Data comes from the Oregon Open Data Portal and is updated daily. For official complaint history, disciplinary records, and enforcement actions, use the official CCB search at search.ccb.state.or.us.

Is it a crime to give a fake CCB number?

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 →
