Required

The city's Permits & Inspections page states "A permit will be issued only when the submitted plans conform to the applicable portions of adopted codes, all fees have been paid, and the contractor has registered with the City." The office page adds that a contractor must "complete contractor registration before submitting a permit application" through the city's MGO Connect portal.

The City's Adopted Codes & Amendments page states "The City of Cibolo has adopted the following codes per Ordinance 1475," listing the 2021 International Building Code, 2021 International Residential Code, 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, 2021 International Plumbing Code, 2021 International Fuel Gas Code, 2021 International Mechanical Code, 2021 International Swimming Pool & Spa Code, 2021 International Fire Code and the 2023 National Electrical Code, with local amendments adopted under the same ordinance.

7.75% to 8.25% combined, depending on where in the city the sale is made. The Comptroller's rate file lists 2 rate areas for Cibolo; the city's own share is 1.5%, and county, special-purpose district and transit rates make up the rest, 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.
