ePermitting Construction Contractors Board (CCB) and Building Codes Division (BCD) License Refresher2/1/2018 CCB issues a variety of contractors licenses for doing different types of commercial and residential work. ALL contractors must have a CCB license, with the required bonding and insurance. Landscape Contractors must have a Landscape Contractors Board (LCB) license.
BCD issues licenses for the Electrical and Plumbing trades. There are licenses required to do various kinds of plumbing and electrical work AND there is a requirement for an Electrical or Plumbing Contractor’s license (as well as a CCB license) to pull an electrical or plumbing permit. Just like with CCB, there are different contractor’s licenses that allow contractors to perform different types of electrical and plumbing work. In the BCD license software, BCD and CCB licenses are linked so if someone has a valid BCD Contractors license, they also must have a valid CCB license. However, having a valid CCB license does not guarantee that someone also has a valid BCD license, so you should always check an electrical or plumbing contractors BCD license before issuing a trade permit. Online, through ACA, to pull an electrical or plumbing permit you must have an electrical or plumbing contractors license associated with your online account (the system does not, however, verify that a contractor is working within the scope of their license so if someone has a limited contractors license you may want to double check the scope of permitted work). Online, to pull a structural or mechanical permit, you must have a CCB, Architects, or Engineers license. Both CCB and BCD licenses are updated daily in ePermitting.

I appreciate you writing this article about e-permitting for building contractors. What advantages do contractors gain from this system, and how has e-permitting benefitted the construction sector?

There are many benefits provided by ePermitting. Continuous access to online services saves time and money by reducing the need to drive to government offices in order to receive services, for example, trade contractors can apply, pay for and get a permit in one online session; design professionals can upload electronic documents for review; and, inspection scheduling options include the website and a mobile app. Inspectors also use mobile inspection applications, which give them access to more information in the field and also allows contractors and homeowners to get inspection results in a more timely manner. ePermitting also improves government transparency, since all permit data is searchable by the public: realtors often use to system to ensure that permits and inspections have been completed before finalizing a home sale. By providing ePermitting to many jurisdictions throughout the state, there is also increased consistency in accessing services: contractors can use the same login and the same electronic processes in more than 80 cities and counties in Oregon. Finally, local jurisdictions use the system at no cost, which has allowed a number of cities and counties, that would not have had the economic or staff resources to adopt an electronic permitting system, to be able to have access to ePermitting for themselves and for their citizens. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
