Contractors License Overview
Anyone who works for compensation in any construction activity
involving improvements to real property in Oregon must be licensed.
All Commercial and Residential Building applicants must pass the
Oregon Contractor Exam. This exam cannot be taken unless an applicant has
completed 16 hours of training on law and business practices from an approved
training provider.
The NASCLA Accredited Commercial Examination can be used in Oregon
to waive the law and business training requirement. The Oregon Contractor Exam
must still be taken and passed.
Applicants for electrical, plumbing, boiler, elevator and
manufactured dwelling licenses must take a trade exam. Pre-approval is required
for those exams.
Information regarding exam details, reference materials,
experience requirements, bonding requirements, reciprocity, and other
requirements for obtaining and maintaining a license are available by selecting
the license links found below.
The Oregon Construction Contractor exam is for individuals seeking the Residential General Contractor, Residential Specialty Contractor, Residential Limited Contractor, Commercial General Contractor Level 1 and Level 2, or Commercial Specialty Contractor Level 1 and Level 2.
The NASCLA Accredited Commercial General Building Contractor Exam eliminates the trade examination only for the participating state agencies. Once you have passed an exam within the NASCLA Accredited Examination Program, contractors will still have to meet additional state licensure requirements within each participating state to obtain their license, as well as passing the state specific Business Law exam.
The National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies (NASCLA) has partnered with several industry stakeholders to create one nationally recognized accredited trade examination for electricians. Through administering state agencies, NASCLA offers (3) different open book electrical trade examinations through the NASCLA Accredited Electrical Examination Program. They are Electrical Contractors (Master/Unlimited Electricians), Journeyman Electricians and Residential Electrical Contractors (Residential Electricians).
