Pursue an eligible contractor or supplier payment complaint
Oregon Construction Contractors Board · Shared Oregon or applicable federal route
Use the role-specific CCB process for a prime contractor, subcontractor, material supplier or employee dispute.
Where and how to proceed: prepare, file and follow up
Start here: Identify your role and the structure type, then read the matching section of Contractor Compliance.
1. Is this for me?
Eligible claims against a licensed contractor; claimant role and residential versus commercial project classification determine requirements.
Service area: Oregon or applicable federal route; confirm venue and agency jurisdiction.
2. What should I prepare?
Some documents may be conditional. Ask about alternatives. Checkmarks are temporary and are not saved or sent.
3. Where and how do I submit?
Read the linked publisher instructions to confirm the receiving office, accepted submission method and current forms. This page has not separately verified those details. A county filter does not decide the correct court or filing location.
- Identify your role and the structure type, then read the matching section of Contractor Compliance.
- Check the strict filing limit for that role; contract promises do not extend CCB’s statutory limits.
- Send the required 30-day pre-complaint notice by certified mail to the contractor’s address of record.
- Complete the role-specific form and submit the supporting documents; follow separate commercial bond procedures when applicable.
- Respond to CCB’s review and mediation requests and preserve any required court or arbitration filings.
Timing: The page gives different deadlines for prime contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and employees. The pre-complaint wait does not extend the final filing deadline.
4. What will it cost?
Details to confirm with the provider
Fees and fee-waiver eligibility have not been separately verified for this route. Check the current provider instructions. For a court filing, ask the court about its fee-waiver or deferral forms.
5. What happens after I submit?
Details to confirm with the provider
Keep a copy of what you send and its confirmation or receipt. Ask the receiving office how to track it, when to expect a response and how it will request missing information. These follow-up details have not been separately verified for this route.
6. What if something goes wrong?
Details to confirm with the provider
Read any returned filing, correction request or denial notice promptly. Ask the responsible office for the correction, review or appeal instructions and the deadline that applies to your notice. This guide does not verify a route-specific appeal process.
Language, disability and offline help
Ask the receiving office about language assistance, disability accommodations and an alternative to online submission. Available options have not been separately verified for this route.
Commercial bond access requires a damages award and timely notice to CCB/bonding company before judgment. CCB is not the court deciding commercial damages.
