Permit process note
THE VILLAGE PUBLISHES A PERMIT SHEET FOR RESIDENTIAL ROOFING, WITH TWO INSPECTIONS. The Department's sheet is headed "Residential Roofing Installation Permit Submittal Requirements" and lists as minimum submittals a "Completed application for permit form," a "Copy of proposal/scope of work," a "Copy of Illinois State Roofer License," a "$10,000 surety bond (if using a dumpster)" and "Homeowners Association approval, if applicable." It says the "Permit fee is based on construction cost as is due at permit issuance." Its inspection requirements are "Ice and Water protection installation prior to roofing material installation (photographs are acceptable)" and a "Final inspection," and it states that inspections require 24 hour notice and that the applicant is responsible for scheduling them.

The sheet is a scanned document; its text was read by machine OCR and checked against the page image.
Adopted code
THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, AS AMENDED AND ADOPTED BY VILLAGE ORDINANCE NO. 2025-49, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN BUILDING CODES SHEET. The sheet, linked from the Department's Codes, Construction Standards & Building Permit Handouts page, lists "INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE (2024 EDITION); as amended and adopted by Village of Bloomingdale Ordinance No. 2025-49," and lists the State of Illinois Energy Conservation Code (2024 edition of the International Energy Conservation Code) as adopted by the same ordinance. The Department's residential roofing sheet, an older document, still says "Installation shall comply with the 2018 International Residential Code as amended and adopted by the Village Code Title 10, Chapter 3"; the Building Codes sheet names the later edition. This record did not read Ordinance No. 2025-49 or Title 10 of the Village Code, so it does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions.
Ice & water shield
Required — The Department's residential roofing sheet lists, under Construction Requirements, "Ice and Water Shield / Protection: 2 feet behind/up from heated exterior walls and as listed per shingle" manufacturer's specifications and installation requirements, and its diagram marks the eaves as required by code. This rests on the Department's own written sheet; the Village's enacted amendment text was not read. About ice & water barrier
Mid-roof inspection
Required — The Department's residential roofing sheet lists, as the first of its two inspections, "Ice and Water protection installation prior to roofing material installation (photographs are acceptable)," followed by a "Final inspection." This rests on the Department's own written sheet; the Village's enacted amendment text was not read.
Roof layer limit / recover
TWO LAYERS ON ASPHALT OR FIBERGLASS SHINGLE ROOFS; OTHER ROOF TYPES COME OFF. The Department's residential roofing sheet says "No more than 2 layers of roofing are allowed on" asphalt and fiberglass shingle roofs, referring the installer to the manufacturer's specifications for the new roofing material, and says "All other roofing types must be removed prior to any new installation." This rests on the Department's own written sheet; the Village's enacted amendment text was not read.
Deck & sheathing requirements
The Department's residential roofing sheet says "Deteriorated plywood roof decking must be replaced on single family homes and fire-retardant treated plywood decking must be installed on townhouse or multi-family buildings where required by the residential building code." This rests on the Department's own written sheet; the Village's enacted amendment text was not read.
Sales & use tax
Illinois taxes the roofer, not the job, and the operative rate is not keyed to the Bloomingdale 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.
