Permit process note
The department's page lists "Re-Roofing Permit Application" among its permit applications and a "Re-Roofing" checklist, and says "Citizen Portal allows customers to apply for permits, request inspections, submit complaints, and check the status of a request." The City's re-roofing application form asks for the type of work (repair or replacement), the class and type of materials, the roof area and the number of existing layers.
Adopted code
THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, PER THE CITY'S OWN CODES LIST. The department's page says "A list of our currently adopted codes can be found below," and the City's Building & Construction Codes list, updated 5/15/2023, names "International Residential Code /2021" together with the 2021 building, existing building, fire, fuel gas, mechanical, plumbing, energy conservation and property maintenance codes. The City's ordinances are hosted on a code publisher's site that this record did not read, so it does not state which ordinance adopted these editions or whether the City has amended the IRC's roof provisions. Missouri law leaves building codes to local adoption: RSMo 67.280 provides that a community "may adopt or repeal an ordinance which incorporates by reference the provisions of any code."
Sales & use tax
Missouri taxes the roofer on materials, not the homeowner on the job, and the combined rate is not keyed to the Marshall job address in this record. The Department of Revenue's Contractors Tax Matrix lists "Tangible personal property to be sold as an attachment to real property" as Taxable on purchases by contractors, so a roofing contractor pays sales or use tax on shingles and underlayment when buying them. The Department states that "The state use tax rate is 4.225%" and that "Cities and counties may impose an additional local use tax," with the amount due depending on "the combined (local and state) use tax rate in effect at the Missouri location where the tangible personal property is stored, used or consumed." The rate in effect at a given address, including any special district rates, is on the Department of Revenue's Sales and Use Tax Rate Chart, which this record does not reproduce.
