Oregon Construction Contractors (CCB) Practice Test

What type of jobs is the Information Notice to Owner about Construction liens not required for?

1. Residential jobs

2. Commercial jobs

3. Jobs where the property owner is a licensed contractor

4. Both B and C

The correct answer is: Both B and C

The Information Notice to Owner concerning construction liens is designed to inform property owners about the potential consequences of non-payment to contractors and subcontractors who are working on their property. However, for specific types of jobs, this notice is not required. In the case where the property owner is a licensed contractor, the notice is not necessary because licensed contractors are presumed to understand the implications of construction liens and the related legal requirements. They are familiar with the construction process and the rights that come with working on such projects. Similarly, in commercial jobs, especially in various scenarios where the contracting party is established, an Information Notice to Owner may not be mandated due to the presumed expertise and understanding of the involved parties regarding lien rights and construction regulations. Thus, the correct understanding is that for both commercial jobs (under certain circumstances) and jobs where the property owner is a licensed contractor, the Information Notice to Owner is not required. This helps streamline processes and acknowledges that these parties usually have sufficient knowledge of the laws governing construction liens.
