Filing
Filed with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board as a condition of your commercial contractor license. Oregon requires a surety bond and does not allow a cash deposit or letter of credit in its place, so the amount is a fixed figure set by your endorsement — $80,000 for a commercial general contractor level 1, $55,000 for a commercial specialty contractor level 1, $25,000 for a commercial general contractor level 2, $25,000 for a commercial specialty contractor level 2, and $25,000 for a commercial developer. A contractor who holds both a residential and a commercial endorsement posts a separate bond for each. It is continuous and must stay on file for every renewal. Authority is ORS 701.068 and ORS 701.084.
