Pub. 1700 also lists 2 special districts inside the city (community improvement, transportation development or STAR bond districts); 2 of them carry a higher combined rate at their listed addresses. Per KDOR Pub. KS-1525, "Services performed to install or apply tangible personal property are exempt from sales tax when the services involve the original construction, reconstruction, restoration, remodeling, renovation, repair or replacement of a residence," so residential re-roof labor is exempt.
