Adopted code
The Town of Little Elm's Building Safety page states: "The Town of Little Elm has adopted the following construction codes that provide minimum standards during the building process," and lists the 2018 International Residential Code among them, followed by "Local Amendments - Chapter 22." The page does not give an ordinance number or adoption date.
Sales & use tax
8.25% combined (6.25% state + 2% City of Little Elm), 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.
