Oregon Lead-Safe Renovation (RRP) Requirements

Oregon does not treat lead-safe renovation as an EPA-only paperwork exercise. The contractor-side filing runs through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB), while training oversight runs through the Oregon Health Authority (OHA).

What work is covered

• Renovation, repair, or painting that disturbs painted surfaces in pre-1978 housing or child-occupied facilities
• Contractors bidding or performing covered renovation work in Oregon
• Jobs where a trained renovator must direct the lead-safe work practices used by the rest of the crew

How Oregon certification works

• The contractor must already hold an active CCB license before adding the lead-based paint renovator specialty license
• Oregon says at least one owner or employee of the contractor business must complete the 8-hour Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) training from an approved provider
• The initial renovator certificate is valid for 5 years
• Before the certificate expires, the renovator must take a 4-hour refresher from an OHA-approved provider; if the certificate expires first, Oregon says the person must take the full 8-hour course again

Fees and filing posture

• Lead-Based Paint Renovator specialty license: $50 application fee submitted to the CCB with the RRP certificate
• Lead-based paint renewal: CCB publishes a $50 annual renewal amount for the specialty license
• Oregon's public materials do not present a single flat statewide training price because course tuition is set by approved providers, not by the state

Oregon-specific operational points

• Submit the LBPR application, the $50 fee, and the RRP certificate together so the CCB can process the specialty license
• The contractor-side filing belongs to the CCB license holder, not to a generic EPA firm account
• OHA maintains the approved training calendar and provider list, so contractors should verify course availability there instead of relying on national EPA-only provider assumptions
• If the project is actually lead abatement or lead inspection rather than renovation, Oregon uses separate lead-based paint activity licensing paths

Renewal and recordkeeping posture

• Treat the specialty license as an annual CCB renewal item
• Treat the renovator training certificate as a separate 5-year cycle with a refresher due before expiration
• Keep copies of the contractor specialty filing, renovator certificate, and project compliance records available for clients and enforcement staff
