What each status means
- Active
- The license is current and the contractor is cleared to work in the trade. This is what you want to see before you sign a contract or pull a permit.
- Expired or inactive
- The license is on file but not in force. The contractor cannot work on it until it is renewed.
- Suspended or revoked
- The state has taken disciplinary action. The contractor is not authorized to work, and the action is on the public record.
Verifying a Oregon contractor
- Licensing authority
- Oregon requires every construction contractor to register with the Construction Contractors Board before advertising or working. This is a statewide requirement, not a local permit. The electrical and plumbing trades are licensed separately by the Building Codes Division, so the lookup asks you to pick the general registration or the trade license.
- License number
- An Oregon CCB registration number is a plain number issued to the contracting business, while a Building Codes Division trade license number mixes letters and numbers, such as 221BME for an electrician or 12665JP for a journeyman plumber. Pick the CCB or the trade option first, then enter the number as it appears.
- Renewal
- An Oregon CCB registration runs for two years and the record shows its expiration date. The board publishes only active registrations, so a number that does not resolve is not currently active, and the official CCB search will confirm it.
- Disciplinary history
- Public. Oregon makes a registered contractor carry a surety bond and liability insurance, and the record shows the bond company and amount and the insurance carrier on file; the CCB's official search adds any complaint or enforcement history.
Common questions
How do I know a Oregon contractor is really licensed?
Find them by license number on the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB)'s record with an active status. A contractor who cannot be found on the state's record is not licensed in Oregon, whatever a website says.
What does an expired or inactive license mean?
The license is on file but not current, so the contractor cannot practice on it until it is renewed or reactivated. The record shows the expiration date.
Can I see if a Oregon contractor has been disciplined?
Public. Oregon makes a registered contractor carry a surety bond and liability insurance, and the record shows the bond company and amount and the insurance carrier on file; the CCB's official search adds any complaint or enforcement history.
