According to Oregon residential contractor requirements, written contracts exceeding what dollar amount must include specific statutory disclosures?
Correct Answer
D) $1,000
Oregon law requires specific disclosures in written contracts for residential work exceeding $1,000.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
$1,000 is the threshold above which Oregon law requires specific statutory disclosures in written contracts for residential work. This aligns with the same $1,000 licensing trigger under ORS 701, creating a consistent framework for consumer protection.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $5,000
$5,000 is too high. Requiring disclosures only at $5,000 would leave many mid-size residential jobs unprotected, which contradicts Oregon's consumer-protection intent.
Option B: $2,000
$2,000 is incorrect. There is no statutory disclosure threshold set at $2,000 in Oregon residential contractor law.
Option C: $10,000
$10,000 is far too high. This would exempt the vast majority of residential jobs from disclosure requirements, undermining homeowner protections.
Memory Technique
One rule, one number: '$1,000 = license + disclosure.' Both the CCB license requirement and the written contract disclosure requirement share the same $1,000 trigger. Remember one, remember both.
