STATE CCB / BCDRequired for all
Plumbing contractors operating in Salem, Oregon, must navigate a dual-layer regulatory environment. At the state level, the Construction Contractors Board (CCB) manages business licensing and bonding, while the Building Codes Division (BCD) oversees professional plumbing certifications and the state plumbing code. Compliance is mandatory to ensure public safety and avoid significant legal or financial penalties.
Locally, the City of Salem acts as the primary authority for permit issuance and site inspections. Contractors are expected to maintain current records, utilize the state's ePermitting system for project management, and ensure that all work meets the standards set forth in the Oregon Plumbing Specialty Code. Failure to adhere to these requirements can result in project delays, fines, and the potential loss of licensure.
