Registration details
  • state_level: Illinois licenses roofing contractors statewide with no dollar threshold. 225 ILCS 335/9(2): "No work involving the construction, reconstruction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of any kind of roofing or waterproofing may be done except by a roofing contractor or a qualifying party licensed or credentialed under this Act." Under 225 ILCS 335/5(a-3), "A municipality or a county that requires a building permit may not issue a building permit to a roofing contractor unless that contractor has provided sufficient proof of current licensure as a roofing contractor by the State," and a holder of a limited license is restricted to permits for work on residential properties of 8 units or less. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation lists "Roofing Contractor, Licensed" among the professions it licenses.
  • city_level: A VILLAGE CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION ON TOP OF THE STATE LICENSE. The Village's Building Permits & Inspections page says "All contractors and subcontractors associated with your permit must be registered with the Village. Your permit will not be issued until all contractors have completed the required contractor registration," and names roofing among the trades that must register.

Adopted code
THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH VILLAGE AMENDMENTS, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN PERMITS PAGE. The Building Permits & Inspections page says "The Village has adopted the 2018 International Codes which are effective for all submissions received on September 1, 2018 or thereafter," lists the "2018 International Residential Code" and the "2018 International Existing Building Code," and says "Along with these building codes, the Village of Barrington has adopted local amendments thereto." The page links the adopting ordinance, Ordinance No. 2018-4014, which amends Title 10, Building Regulations, of the Village Code, including its Residential Code chapter, and was adopted in July 2018. The Village posts that ordinance only as a scanned image, which this record did not transcribe, so it does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions.
Sales & use tax
Illinois taxes the roofer, not the job, and the operative rate is not keyed to the Barrington job address. Under 86 Ill. Adm. Code 130.1940(c), a construction contractor "does not incur Retailers' Occupation Tax liability as to receipts from labor furnished and tangible personal property (materials and fixtures) incorporated into a structure," but "incurs Use Tax on the cost price of the tangible personal property that is incorporated into real estate," with "roofing materials" named in the rule's own list of examples. Repair and replacement are taxed identically: 130.1940(a)(3) defines "construct" to include "repair, renovate or remodel." The Illinois Department of Revenue states the Use Tax rate as "6.25% of the purchase price or fair market value, whichever is greater." Where the contractor buys for resale, the local tax follows "the place of business at or from which the contractor or builder handles the transaction" (130.2075(b)(3)), so the combined rate on materials is the supply house's or the contractor's, which this record does not pin down. The authoritative lookup is the Illinois Department of Revenue's MyTax Illinois Tax Rate Finder.

Building permits in the Village of Barrington, Illinois, in Cook and Lake Counties, are handled by the Village's Development Services department, whose Building Permits & Inspections page gives the Village Hall address of 200 S. Hough Street. The Illinois Capital Development Board says "The State has not adopted a building code for repairs to existing single family residences," so Barrington's roofing rules are its own: the Village says it has adopted the 2018 International Codes, including the 2018 International Residential Code, with local amendments. The Village says permits are required for one-for-one roof replacements; this listing covers the office's contact details, the Village's own statements on code and permits, and the rules state law sets for every Illinois roofer.
