Oregon — Commercial Developer Bond
Commercial Developer is its own Oregon CCB endorsement, not a general contractor level. It covers arranging improvements to small or large commercial property for sale while licensed general contractors oversee the work and the developer performs no construction.

What this bond does
Supply the $25,000 CCB commercial surety bond for the Commercial Developer endorsement.
- Who needs it
- A licensee with an ownership interest in commercial property it develops or improves for sale, working in association with licensed general contractors. Confirm another endorsement if you intend to perform construction yourself.
- Who it protects
- The commercial model runs to the State of Oregon and exclusively ensures payment of CCB determination orders under Chapter 701. It responds to the principal's failure to pay the amounts CCB determines, rather than guaranteeing completion of every commercial building or payment of all project debts.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

- Have the property's ownership-interest and intended-sale role clear, with licensed general contractors responsible for construction oversight.
- Match the full legal entity, CD endorsement, commercial form, $25,000 sum in both places and CCB number if already issued.
- Keep the signed bond and power of attorney together for submission with the license application within the stated signing-date deadline.
Questions about this bond
Should I choose the Commercial General Contractor Level 1 amount?
CCB lists Commercial Developer separately with its own $25,000 commercial bond requirement. The size of a development does not turn a nonbuilding developer into a general contractor classification.
Does Commercial Developer authorize hands-on construction?
The classification says the developer does not perform construction. It arranges the work on property in which it has an interest, for sale, in association with licensed general contractors who oversee construction.
Will this replace the residential bond for a dual endorsement?
CCB requires separate commercial and residential bonds for the corresponding endorsements. The commercial model is not a combined substitute.
Can I send the bond after submitting the new-license application?
CCB directs new applicants to submit the bond and power of attorney with the application, including both uploads in the online process. Its checklist requires receipt within 60 days of the surety's signing date; separate submission can delay licensing.
