The Oregon rule

Regulator: Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB).

$1,000
Oregon job-size figure

ORS 701.010(4): a person working on one structure or project, under one or more contracts, when the aggregate price of all that person's contracts for labor, materials and all other items is LESS THAN $1,000 (so $1,000 exactly requires a license) AND the work is casual, minor or inconsequential. Does not apply to anyone who advertises or puts out any sign or card or other device indicating to the public that they are a contractor.

What counts toward it: labor+materials

"A person working on one structure or project, under one or more contracts, when the aggregate price of all of that person's contracts for labor, materials and all other items is less than $1,000 and such work is of a casual, minor or inconsequential nature."
