Article I · State Baseline

Licensing sets the baseline. Local offices control the job.

Cities and counties still control permits, inspections, planning, zoning, septic, and local development approvals.

Oregon generally requires anyone paid for construction activity involving improvements to real property to hold a CCB license, with residential, commercial, and specialty endorsements.

Use CCB for contractor license, bond, insurance, and endorsement status; use the local permit desk for project filing.

Insurance and risk

CCB licensees must maintain required liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage when they have employees.
