Oregon CCB license renewal basics
Oregon CCB contractor licenses must be renewed every two years. The CCB sends a renewal notice to the address on your record approximately 90 days before your expiration date - but do not rely on the notice. Log into the CCB contractor portal periodically to check your expiration date and ensure your contact information is current.
A lapsed CCB license - even briefly - means you cannot legally perform construction work in Oregon. Performing work with an expired license is a CCB violation subject to civil penalties. Renew before your expiration date, not after.
Renewal timeline - what to do and when
90 days before expiration - check your CE status
Log into the CCB portal and check how many CE credits are registered in your account. Compare against the requirement for your license type and years licensed. If you are short on hours, start completing courses now. Do not leave CE to the last week.
CE requirements by license type60 days before - verify bond and insurance
Check that your surety bond and liability insurance will not expire before your renewal date. Bond and insurance have their own expiration dates, separate from your CCB license. If either lapses before your license renewal, your license will show as inactive in the CCB database - visible to any homeowner who searches for your license. Contact your surety company and insurer to confirm renewal dates.
30 days before - submit CE certificates
Email all CE completion certificates to the CCB at cecerts@ccb.oregon.gov. Include your CCB license number in the subject line. Processing takes several business days - do not submit the day before you renew. Verify in the portal that all credits are registered before proceeding to renewal.
Renewal day - complete online
Log into portal.ccb.state.or.us. Verify your business name, address, RMI name, and contact information are current. Confirm CE credits appear. Confirm bond and insurance details are accurate. Pay the renewal fee. Save or print your renewal confirmation.
After renewal - verify your public record
Search your license at CCB Lookup to confirm that the renewal is reflected in the public record. Your clients and prospective customers will see this record. Confirm the expiration date, bond, and insurance all show correctly.
What you need to renew
- Continuing education credits registered - the required hours for your license type must appear in the CCB system before renewal. Exempt license types (RHSC, RLSC, RHEPSC) do not need CE.
- Active surety bond - minimum $25,000 for most residential license types. The bond must not expire before your new license expiration date. Your surety company files bond information directly with the CCB.
- Active general liability insurance - minimum $500,000 for most license types. Your insurer files proof of insurance directly with the CCB. Verify the CCB has current information.
- Workers compensation insurance or exemption - required if you have employees. Sole proprietors with no employees may qualify for an exemption. Contact the CCB at 503-378-4621 to confirm your eligibility.
- Renewal fee payment - paid online through the CCB portal. Fee amounts vary by license type. Current fees are listed at oregon.gov/ccb.

If your license has lapsed
Lapsed less than 2 years
Complete CE, ensure bond and insurance are active, and renew through the portal. Your CCB license number and complaint history are preserved. You cannot work until renewal is confirmed.
Lapsed more than 2 years
Do not take CE - credits will not apply. You must re-apply for a new license: new application, pre-license training, and CCB examination. Contact 503-378-4621 before doing anything else.
