Multnomah County electrical licensure at a glance

Oregon splits one credential across two agencies, so this page has to as well. BCD licenses the trade and issues the number on every listing above: 127 active BCD electrical contractor licenses sit in Multnomah County, 100 of them registered in Portland. CCB registers the business and is the only source of a bond, liability insurance or a registration date, and the two files share no key at all, so we match them on business name and city: 82 of Portland's 100 licenses (82.0%) match a CCB registration that was still current on our data date, and the ones we cannot match are counted in the identified line above and never in the verified one. That registration is also the only tenure Oregon publishes, and it is what this page ranks on: the median matched Portland business has been registered 13 years, and the longest-standing since 1972. 81 of Portland's licenses carry liability insurance current at that date and 82 carry a current contractor bond, but neither amount tells two contractors apart: CCB fixes both by endorsement class rather than leaving them to the business, which is why 73 of the county's 127 licenses carry the same $25,000 bond. That is exactly why the order here is by how long CCB has had the business registered and by nothing else. 9 county registrations reach their CCB renewal date within the next 90 days. BCD expires every active license of a trade on one statewide cycle date, so that date says nothing about an individual company and the expiry we show is the registration's. Check the trade license at BCD's license holder search and the registration, bond and insurance at CCB's license search. How we verify.
