Oregon Construction Contractors (CCB) Practice Test

The option that correctly identifies who is exempt from needing a contractor's license is that city or county building code inspectors are exempt. Building inspectors are government employees whose role is to enforce local building codes and regulations. They do not engage in construction work as contractors but rather perform inspections and ensure compliance with safety and zoning laws.

In contrast, other choices involve activities or individuals who typically would require a contractor's license. For example, school districts using student projects generally require some level of oversight and licensing because these projects involve construction work. Individuals working on their own property are generally allowed certain exemptions under specific conditions; however, they must still follow regulations and may need permits for certain types of work. Lastly, anyone bidding on construction work typically needs a license to ensure they adhere to legal requirements and maintain industry standards.
