What Is an Oregon Contractor License Bond?

An Oregon contractor license bond is a financial guarantee that a construction contractor will comply with state and local licensing laws when working on a job. They protect any parties who could be harmed by defective construction or other license noncompliance. 

If an Oregon contractor breaks the bond terms, the surety company will pay valid claims to harmed parties up to the full bond amount. Then, the faulty contractor must reimburse the surety.

Oregon contractor bond costs start at $100 per year, but prices can range from $100 to $8,000. Your exact cost will vary depending on the license type you need and its required bond amount. Rates are typically around 1–5% of the total bond amount.
