What Is CCB License (Oregon Construction Contractors Board)?
Definition
A CCB license is the credential the Oregon Construction Contractors Board issues to legally perform construction work, including HVAC and electrical, in the state — it requires a surety bond, liability insurance, and a clean complaint history to stay active, and is separate from the trade-specific licenses electricians must also hold.
Why it matters for your home
Verifying a contractor's CCB license takes about 90 seconds at the state's online lookup tool and tells you whether their bond and insurance are actually current — information a business card or truck logo does not confirm.
What to do about it
Search the license number, business name, or owner name at the Oregon CCB's official lookup and confirm four things: status is Active, the surety bond is current, liability insurance is on file, and the complaint history is clean.
