Permits and public records

  1. Ask the contractor and local building department which permits could apply.
  2. Use the CCB search to check the contractor record and complaint history.
  3. Use Oregon public records as evidence of a record, not proof of quality or availability.
  4. Keep a dated copy of the license information you relied on.
