FAQ

2-Year Discovery Rule (Negligence Claims): For negligence claims (e.g., faulty construction that causes damage), Oregon law applies a 2-year discovery rule. This means property owners have 2 years to file a lawsuit after discovering a defect or when they reasonably should have discovered it.

Independent contractors are not covered by workers' compensation insurance. They are not entitled to receive benefits if they are injured on the job. Independent contractors cannot use the wages they earn to qualify for unemployment insurance benefits when they are unemployed.

Generally, Oregon law requires anyone who works for compensation in any construction activity involving improvements to real property to be licensed.

When an unlicensed contractor is discovered by an owner, they must then contend with a litigious opponent and a court system that won't look kindly on them, not to mention the CCB. The penalty for contracting without a license in Oregon jumps up to $5,000 per offense when an owner has filed a complaint for damages.

Operational Framework of CDL Laws in Oregon Oregon's CDL laws impose a 10-year statute of repose and a 6-year statute of limitations for construction defect claims. Statute of Repose: This 10-year period begins with the substantial completion of the construction project.

Projects that do not require a license from the CCB include gutter cleaning, power & pressure washing, debris clean up (yard or construction site), and handyman work on projects with a contract value of $1,000 or less.

You don't need to stress yourself out shooting for a perfect score on your CCB exam. For starters, of the 88 items on the test, 8 of them aren't scored at all. Then, of the 80 scored items, you only need to get 70% correct. You can score a solid C- and still pass your CCB exam.

If you are aware of unlicensed contractors working on Active jobsites that are located IN Oregon, you can report the activity to the CCB. A field investigator may follow up on the reported activity.
