Adopted code
The City of Anna's Adopted Codes & Ordinances page states "Effective February 1, 2024: 2021 International Building Codes and 2020 National Electric Code" and lists the 2021 International Residential Code among the adopted codes. The City's notice states "The City of Anna has Adopted the 2021 editions of the International Building Codes and the 2020 edition of the National Electrical Code with NCTCOG Amendments" and that "The effective date of these codes will be February 1, 2024." The page does not give the adopting ordinance number.
Sales & use tax
8.25% combined (6.25% state + 2% City of Anna), per the Comptroller's local sales tax rate file. Comptroller Publication 94-116, Real Property Repair and Remodeling, states that "Labor to repair, remodel, or restore residential real property is not taxable" and that under a lump-sum contract "you pay tax on all your supplies, materials, equipment, and taxable services when you buy them. You don't charge your customer tax." On a lump-sum residential re-roof the rate therefore falls on the roofer's material purchases, not on the homeowner's contract price.
