Yes — a permit is required to replace a roof in Haysville, KS, issued by City of Haysville - Public Works Department. The City's adopted International Residential Code, 2018 Edition (Section 4-301) exempts from permit requirements, at R105.2 item 15, "Repair or replacement of roofing and/or siding materials not exceeding 400 square feet (37.16 m2) within any 12 month period."

Permit process note
The City's adopted International Residential Code, 2018 Edition (Section 4-301) exempts from permit requirements, at R105.2 item 15, "Repair or replacement of roofing and/or siding materials not exceeding 400 square feet (37.16 m2) within any 12 month period." The parallel adopted International Existing Building Code, 2018 Edition (Section 4-1301), Section 105.2 item 16, states the same exemption: "Repair or replacement roofing and/or siding materials not exceeding 400 square feet (37 m2) within any 12-month period." Roofing work exceeding this 400-square-foot annual threshold requires a building permit.
Adopted code
Section 4-301 of the Code of the City of Haysville, Kansas states: "There is hereby adopted by reference by the City of Haysville, Kansas, for the purpose of establishing standards for the safety, health, and public welfare, the International Residential Code, for One and Two Family Dwellings, 2018 Edition." Section 4-1301 likewise adopts the International Existing Building Code, 2018 Edition.
Drip edge
Required — Drip edge is required at eaves and rake edges of shingle roofs (IRC R905.2.8.5). The jurisdiction adopted the 2018 International Residential Code via Section 4-301 of the Code of the City of Haysville (Ch. 9 amendments limited to R703.8.4.1 and R908.7); that instrument, read in full, does not amend R905.2.8.5, so the code's drip-edge requirement stands as enacted local law. About drip edge
Ice & water shield
Not required — "Ice Barrier - None Required" (Table R301.2(1), Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria, as amended within Section 4-301 of the Code of the City of Haysville, Kansas, adopting the International Residential Code, 2018 Edition). About ice & water barrier
Mid-roof inspection
Not required — Not required. The City of Haysville Inspection Department's "Roofing Handout" - the roofing document the City publishes under the "Inspection Handouts" heading on its Permits & Plans page - is devoted entirely to re-roof decking, and it describes the City's roofing inspection as an after-the-fact examination made from below: "When inspecting the finished roofing installations, from the attic space, the one-by boards are often splintered at the edges, broken at existing knots, or the fasteners were placed within the gapped areas between the boards." The deck is therefore examined from inside the attic after the covering is on, which is the opposite of a mid-roof inspection taken from above before the covering is applied. The handout is signed by Chad Bettles, Inspection Department, dated May 5, 2016 and marked "Rev.6-10-16." Nothing in the City's codified residential construction article creates a roofing inspection either: it amends IRC Section R109 only at R109.3.3 (floodplain), and its only Chapter 9 amendment adds Section R908.7 Reroof decking, which is a materials requirement - "1 X boards or lumber, used as roof decking shall be covered by a minimum of 7/16 inch oriented strand board (osb) or other approved material conforming to roof covering manufacturers requirements" - and not an inspection. SCOPE LIMITS, stated rather than glossed: the handout reasons from the 2012 IRC while the City has since adopted the 2018 IRC at Section 4-301, so its code citations are older than the code now in force, even though it remains the roofing handout the City publishes today. The Permits & Plans page gives no roofing-specific inspection sequence, saying only that "Inspections are done on a first come, first served basis" and that callers should phone 1-2 days ahead to schedule.
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — Article 3 (Sections 4-301 through 4-310), "Residential Construction," of the Code of the City of Haysville, Kansas adopts the International Residential Code, 2018 Edition, by reference at Sec. 4-301, together with the amendments set forth in the Resolution of the Board of County Commissioners of Sedgwick County, Kansas, of August 15, 2018 (Res. No. 120-2018), incorporated by reference, plus the City's own itemized supplemental amendments listed under Sec. 4-310. Those itemized amendments touch Chapter 9 (Roof Assemblies) only once, adding a new Section R908.7 requiring reroof decking of 1x boards to be covered by a minimum 7/16 inch oriented strand board or other approved material meeting roof covering manufacturer requirements; it does not address roof covering classification or impact resistance. No UL 2218, Class 4, or hail-impact-resistance provision appears anywhere in Article 3. Article 13 (Sections 4-1301 through 4-1309), adopting the International Existing Building Code, 2018 Edition, with its own itemized amendments at Sec. 4-1309, was also read in full and likewise contains no such provision.
Repair permit threshold
"Repair or replacement of roofing and/or siding materials not exceeding 400 square feet (37.16 m2) within any 12 month period." (R105.2, Item 15, Code of the City of Haysville, Kansas, Section 4-301, adopting the International Residential Code, 2018 Edition).
Wind design criteria
Sec. 4-310 of the Code of the City of Haysville, Kansas (city provisions supplemental to the Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Building and Trade Code), Table R301.2(1) "Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria for Sedgwick County, Ks.": "Wind Speed (mph) – 76w/90-3 sec. gust" (i.e. 76 mph ASD design wind speed / 90 mph ultimate design wind speed, 3-second gust); Seis. Design Cat. A; Ice Barrier None Required. The table has no separate rows for topographic effects, special wind region, or windborne debris zone, and wind exposure category is not fixed in the table (site-specific per footnote).
Roof layer limit / recover
Sec. 4-309 of the Code of the City of Haysville, Kansas: "Those provisions of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Building and Trade Code, as adopted through Article 12 below, applicable to the Residential Building Code are found in Article 2, Section 4 of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Unified Building and Trade Code, except as supplemented herein." Haysville's own Sec. 4-310 supplement does not independently address roof recover/replacement (no R907 provision appears in it), so Haysville inherits Sec. 2.4.560 of the county UBTC by incorporation: "Re-covering versus replacement. Section R907.3 of the International Residential Code is hereby deleted," with no replacement provision enacted.
Deck & sheathing requirements
Sec. 4-310 of the Code of the City of Haysville, Kansas, under the heading "REROOF DECKING" (amending IRC Section R908 to add a new R908.7): "R908.7 Reroof decking shall meet the requirements with regard to solid sheathed roof deck. 1 X boards or lumber, used as roof decking shall be covered by a minimum of 7/16" oriented strand board (osb) or other approved material conforming to roof covering manufacturers requirements."
Sales & use tax
Haysville's combined sales tax rate is 8.5% (KS state 6.5% + Sedgwick County 1.0% + City of Haysville 1.0%). KDOR Pub. 1700 lists one CID, at 4945 General Hays Rd, that raises the rate to 11.25% within that specific addressed parcel only. Per Kansas DOR Pub. KS-1525 "Sales & Use Tax for Contractors, Subcontractors, and Repairmen" (Rev. 7-29-25): "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, but 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" at the time of purchase (or self-assessed compensating use tax on out-of-state materials, via Form CT-10U, per the same publication's Compensating Use Tax section). Commercial re-roof labor is taxable ("roofing, siding and guttering" is listed as a taxable labor service on commercial projects). Pub. KS-1525 describes only two collection points for contractor materials tax -- retailer sale or self-assessed use tax -- with no mechanism tied to building-permit issuance anywhere in the publication; Kansas sales/use tax is administered centrally by KDOR, not self-collected by home-rule cities as in Colorado.
