Notes
Oregon requires painting contractors to be licensed through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB). Contractors must pass a law and business practices exam, carry general liability insurance, and post a surety bond. Individual journeyman painters are not separately licensed at the state level unless operating as a contractor. Verify current requirements with CCB.
