Registration details
  • state_level: Illinois licenses roofing contractors statewide with no dollar threshold. 225 ILCS 335/9(2): "No work involving the construction, reconstruction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of any kind of roofing or waterproofing may be done except by a roofing contractor or a qualifying party licensed or credentialed under this Act."

Adopted code
THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN APPLICABLE CODES PAGE. The Building Division's Applicable Codes page lists the "2024 International Building Code," the "2024International Residential Code" and the "2024 Illinois Energy Conservation Code," and names "Lombard Municipal Code Chapter 150: Building Code." The Village's amendments to the IRC sit in Chapter 150 of the Village Code, which this record did not read, so it does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions, nor the date of the adopting ordinance.
Sales & use tax
Illinois taxes the roofer, not the job, and the operative rate is not keyed to the Lombard job address. Under 86 Ill. Adm. Code 130.1940(c), a construction contractor "does not incur Retailers' Occupation Tax liability as to receipts from labor furnished and tangible personal property (materials and fixtures) incorporated into a structure," but "incurs Use Tax on the cost price of the tangible personal property that is incorporated into real estate," with "roofing materials" named in the rule's own list of examples. Repair and replacement are taxed identically: 130.1940(a)(3) defines "construct" to include "repair, renovate or remodel." The Illinois Department of Revenue states the Use Tax rate as "6.25% of the purchase price or fair market value, whichever is greater." Where the contractor buys for resale, the local tax follows "the place of business at or from which the contractor or builder handles the transaction" (130.2075(b)(3)), so the combined rate on materials is the supply house's or the contractor's, which this record does not pin down. The authoritative lookup is the Illinois Department of Revenue's MyTax Illinois Tax Rate Finder.
