All Oregon Contractor’s License Bonds are increasing by $5,000 effective January 1, 2024. This change was enacted by House Bill 2922, which was passed by the Oregon Legislature in 2023. The bill aims to provide better protection for consumers by increasing the amount of financial recourse available in the event that a contractor fails to fulfill their obligations.
