Permit process note
The Building Services and Permits page states "The Building Inspection Department is responsible for the issuance and inspection of all construction related permits," and its FAQ says of contractors doing permitted work: "They are required to be registered with the City." The page's permit lists do not name re-roofing.
Adopted code
The Building Services and Permits page states "The City of Kyle, as part of the City's Building Ordinance, has adopted the following building codes," and lists the 2021 International Residential Code, 2021 International Building Code, 2021 International Plumbing Code, 2021 International Mechanical Code, 2021 International Fuel Gas Code, 2021 International Fire Code, 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, 2021 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code and the 2020 National Electrical Code.
Sales & use tax
8.25% combined (6.25% state + 1.5% City of Kyle + 0.5% Hays County), 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.
