Registration details
  • state_level: A KANSAS ROOFING CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE FROM THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. K.S.A. 50-6,123(a)(1): "No person shall engage in the business of or act in the capacity of a roofing contractor within this state without having a valid registration certificate as required by this act." K.S.A. 50-6,122(a)(1) defines a roofing contractor as any person, including a subcontractor and nonresident contractor, who in the ordinary course of business "Engages in the business of commercial or residential roofing services for a fee" or offers or solicits roofing-related services. Section 50-6,122(a)(2) excludes a person doing demolition or debris cleanup, "a person working under the direct supervision of the roofing contractor and who is hired by such roofing contractor as an employee or day laborer," and an "exempt general contractor," a general contractor meeting the conditions of 50-6,122(e) (among them, that roofing is no more than 50% of the project cost, or that roofing is subcontracted to a registered roofer, and no door-to-door sales). This record does not decide whether a given reader falls inside any exclusion. Under K.S.A. 50-6,128 the annual fee is set by the Attorney General, may not exceed $500, and the certificate expires June 30 each year. Working unregistered carries civil penalties under K.S.A. 50-636 (50-6,123(b)).
  • city_level: City of Edwardsville Ordinance No. 1040, An Ordinance Adopting Contractor Licensing, passed March 22, 2021 and in force on July 1, 2021, provides in Section 1 that all persons subject to obtaining a permit in accordance with Chapter 3, Building Regulations, of the Code of Ordinances, City of Edwardsville, Kansas, shall be required to submit a valid Johnson County Contractor License in order to obtain such permits.

Sales & use tax
Edwardsville's combined sales tax rate is 10% (Kansas state 6.5% + Wyandotte County 1% + City of Edwardsville 2.5%), per the Kansas Department of Revenue's Pub. 1700 jurisdiction rate table effective October 1, 2026. Pub. 1700 also lists 3 special districts inside the city (community improvement, transportation development or STAR bond districts); 3 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. Materials are not: contractors "are considered to be the final user or consumer of the materials they install for others, and must pay Kansas sales or use tax on them."
