Oregon licensing and permits
Oregon electrical contractors need two things: an active Construction Contractors Board license (Oregon Construction Contractors Board license search) and an Oregon Building Codes Division electrical license (Oregon Building Codes Division — License holder search). Check both. One without the other is not enough for electrical work. Inside Portland city limits, permits go through Portland Permitting & Development.
Checked against the official pages linked above on 2026-10-08. Numbers change, so confirm on the utility’s site.
