Oregon Home Energy Performance Score Contractor Bond
Overview
Get bonded as an Oregon Home Energy Performance Score Contractor and satisfy the state's licensing requirement before you conduct a single energy assessment. Oregon requires contractors who issue Home Energy Performance Scores to carry this bond as a condition of authorization. It protects homeowners and the state by holding you financially accountable for your work. Have this bond in hand and you're cleared to operate legally under Oregon's home energy scoring program.
Who Needs This Bond?
If you assess residential buildings and issue Home Energy Performance Scores in Oregon, this bond is required before you can be licensed to do that work. Contractors who evaluate home energy use, generate official scores, and provide performance reports to homeowners fall squarely within this requirement. This is a statewide Oregon obligation — not tied to any single city or county. Whether you operate out of Portland, Bend, Eugene, or anywhere else in the state, the same bonding standard applies.
What is this Bond For?
Oregon's Home Energy Performance Score program gives homeowners a standardized rating of their home's energy efficiency. As a licensed contractor in this program, you're trusted to deliver accurate assessments and honest reports. This bond backs that trust — it gives the state and homeowners a financial remedy if your work falls short of program standards or causes harm. It's a performance guarantee built into your license, not an optional add-on.
When is it Required?
Renewal of your Oregon Home Energy Performance Score Contractor authorization means renewing this bond on the same cycle. You must carry continuous, active bond coverage for as long as you hold this license — any gap in coverage puts your authorization at risk. Oregon's licensing authority will require proof of the bond before issuing or renewing your credentials. Don't wait until your renewal deadline to act; a lapsed bond can interrupt your ability to legally issue energy scores.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a statewide Oregon requirement administered at the state level, not by a city or county. It covers your licensed activity anywhere within Oregon's borders. Any home energy performance scoring work you perform in the state falls under the authority that this bond supports.
