Lead licensing in Oregon
Oregon runs its own lead programs. A contractor with a Construction Contractors Board license who renovates or paints homes built before 1978 needs a Lead-Based Paint Renovation license from that board, while other firms, such as property managers, become certified through the Oregon Health Authority. Lead abatement, inspection and risk assessment professionals are certified by the Health Authority. Ask for the credential on record and check the agencies' sites for current requirements.
