How it works
What CCB Lookup checks - and why it matters
Verifying an Oregon contractor means checking three independent data points: whether the CCB license is active, whether the surety bond covers you, and whether the liability insurance hasn't expired.
A contractor can hold an active CCB license number and still carry an expired bond or lapsed liability insurance - leaving you financially unprotected if something goes wrong on the job. CCB Lookup cross-checks all three against the Oregon CCB Open Data Portal - updated daily.
The results below show what you see when you look up any Oregon CCB license number: a clear active or expired status, exact bond and insurance amounts, and expiration dates - so you know before you sign.
How to verify a contractor →CCB License Status
Confirms the Oregon contractor holds a current, active license issued by the Construction Contractors Board.
The business name on the license must match exactly what the contractor tells you - a mismatch is a red flag.
Licenses expire every 2 years and must be renewed to remain valid.
Surety Bond Coverage
Shows the bond amount and expiration date.
Oregon law requires a valid surety bond to protect homeowners against incomplete or defective work.
Bond minimums range from $15,000 (residential specialty) to $75,000+ (commercial), updated by legislation effective 2024.
Liability Insurance
Verifies the contractor carries active liability insurance.
An expired policy means property damage or injuries on your job may not be covered.
Always request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and confirm the business name matches the CCB record exactly.

Beyond the CCB - additional data on every contractor profile
Oregon BCD Trade License
For electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and other licensed trades, CCB Lookup cross-references the Oregon Building Codes Division (BCD) to confirm the contractor also holds the required trade license.
A CCB license does not replace a BCD license - contractors performing electrical, plumbing, boiler, or elevator work must hold both. General contractors (roofing, remodeling, painting) typically only need the CCB license.

CCB Lookup Trust Score
Trustworthiness - beyond the license
Oregon has no official contractor rating system. CCB Lookup built one.
The Oregon CCB does not score or rank contractors - it shows license status and complaint history. CCB Lookup fills that gap with a transparent, documented Trust Score (0–100) calculated from six verified data sources: CCB license standing, bond and insurance status, years of activity, BCD trade licenses, Google Business verification, and business status signals. Every factor is publicly documented. See exactly how it's calculated →
For complaint history and disciplinary records, CCB Lookup links directly to the official CCB database and the Oregon DOJ Consumer Complaints Database - two independent sources that complete the picture beyond license verification.

How CCB Lookup Works
The Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) is the state agency responsible for licensing contractors who perform construction work in Oregon. Any person or business paid to build, repair, or improve a residential or commercial structure must hold a valid CCB license.
Oregon law requires all licensed contractors to display their CCB license number on estimates, contracts, invoices, and advertising. If you see "CCB #" followed by a number on a contractor's paperwork, that is their license identifier - look it up instantly with the search tool above.
CCB Lookup provides a fast contractor license search built on the official CCB database, sourced directly from the Oregon Open Data Portal under Oregon's Open Data Law (ORS 276A.350–374). Data is updated daily. For complaint history and disciplinary records, visit the official CCB search tool.
CCB Lookup does not include complaint or disciplinary history. For complaint records, unpaid claims, and disciplinary actions, use the official Oregon CCB search →
