Carpenter License Requirements in Oregon

Oregon requires contractors to be licensed by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). While there is no separate statewide journeyman carpenter license for employees, anyone operating as a carpentry contractor (self-employed or running a carpentry business) must hold a CCB license. Additionally, the Oregon Apprenticeship and Training Division administers registered apprenticeship programs for carpenters. Verify current individual tradesperson requirements with the CCB and Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (https://www.oregon.gov/boli).
