Under ORS 701, a residential contractor's CCB license expires on what date every two years?
Correct Answer
B) September 30th
Under ORS 701, all CCB licenses expire on September 30th of even-numbered years, regardless of when initially issued.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
September 30th is correct. ORS 701 establishes a uniform expiration date for all CCB residential contractor licenses: September 30th of even-numbered years. This standardized renewal date (regardless of when the license was originally issued) simplifies the renewal process for both contractors and the CCB.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: The anniversary of initial license
The anniversary of initial license is incorrect. Many professional licenses do use anniversary-based renewals, but Oregon's CCB system uses a fixed calendar date (September 30th) to standardize all renewals. This prevents the administrative complexity of tracking thousands of individual anniversary dates.
Option C: June 30th
June 30th is incorrect. June 30th is the end of Oregon's fiscal year and the expiration date for some other state licenses, but not CCB contractor licenses. CCB licenses expire on September 30th.
Option D: December 31st
December 31st is incorrect. December 31st is a common end-of-year expiration for many licenses and registrations, but ORS 701 specifically designates September 30th as the CCB license expiration date.
Memory Technique
September 30th — think of it as the end of summer for contractors. Summer is construction season; when summer ends (September 30), it's time to renew your license before fall projects begin. 'Summer ends, license renews — September 30.'
