Oregon Contractor License

If you want to be a contractor in Oregon(OR) you need to have an Oregon contractor license. The Oregon Construction Contractors Board License requires any “person” that is engaged for compensation in any construction activity involving improvements to real estate to be licensed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board.

A contractor’s license is required for any “person” that advertises, offers, bids or arranges to do, or actually does any construction, alteration, remodeling, or repair involving residential, commercial, industrial, or public works improvements. Inspection services, tree services, chimney sweep businesses and developers who build structures with the intent to sell are also required to become licensed.
