A contractor's CCB license expires on January 31st. They submit a renewal application on February 15th. What penalty applies under ORS 701?
Correct Answer
C) $200 late fee plus original renewal fee
Oregon CCB charges a $200 late fee plus the original renewal fee for licenses renewed within 30 days after expiration.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Under ORS 701, Oregon CCB charges a $200 late fee plus the original renewal fee for licenses renewed within 30 days after expiration. February 15th is 15 days after the January 31st expiration, which falls within the 30-day late renewal window, so the $200 late fee plus renewal fee is the correct penalty.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $100 late fee plus original renewal fee
$100 late fee plus original renewal fee is incorrect. Oregon CCB's late fee for renewal within 30 days of expiration is specifically $200, not $100. Confusing this amount with a lower figure is a common error.
Option B: $50 late fee
$50 late fee alone is incorrect. This amount is too low and does not reflect Oregon CCB's penalty structure. Additionally, a late renewal requires both the late fee and the original renewal fee, not just a small flat penalty.
Option D: Must reapply as new applicant with full fees
Being required to reapply as a new applicant applies only when the license has been expired for more than 30 days. Since February 15th is only 15 days after the January 31st expiration, the contractor qualifies for the late renewal process, not a full new application.
Memory Technique
Think '200 = 2 weeks grace': $200 is the penalty if you catch your mistake quickly (within 30 days). Miss the 30-day window and you start over entirely.
