Adopted code

Village of Minooka Building Department

Building permits in the Village of Minooka, Illinois, which lies in Grundy, Will and Kendall counties, are handled by the Village's Building Department, with Village Hall at 121 E. McEvilly Road. The Illinois Capital Development Board says "The State has not adopted a building code for repairs to existing single family residences," so Minooka's roofing rules are its own: the Building Department page lists the 2018 International Residential Code among its adopted codes with Village amendments. This listing covers the office's contact details, the Village's own statements on code and permits, and the rules state law sets for every Illinois roofer.

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." Under 225 ILCS 335/5(a-3), "A municipality or a county that requires a building permit may not issue a building permit to a roofing contractor unless that contractor has provided sufficient proof of current licensure as a roofing contractor by the State," and a holder of a limited license is restricted to permits for work on residential properties of 8 units or less. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation lists "Roofing Contractor, Licensed" among the professions it licenses.
  • city_level: A VILLAGE REGISTRATION ON TOP OF THE STATE LICENSE. The Building Department page says "All trades and subcontractors must be registered with the Village before any permit can be issued."
Permit process note
The Building Department page says that to apply for a building permit, request an inspection, or register as a contractor, applicants "log in to your OpenGov account." It says "Residential building permits may take up to seven (7) business days to issue," "All trades and subcontractors must be registered with the Village before any permit can be issued," and "Inspections require at least 24 hours' notice." The Village's Frequently Asked Questions page says "Residents need building permits to build sidewalks, driveways, decks, pools, fences, and any additions to the house such as a garage." Neither page names roof replacement, so this listing does not state a yes or no answer for a re-roof.
Adopted code
THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH VILLAGE AMENDMENTS, PER THE VILLAGE'S BUILDING DEPARTMENT PAGE. Under "Adopted Codes (with Village amendments):" the page lists "International Residential Code (2018)," "International Building Code (2018)," "International Existing Building Code (2018)" and "Illinois Energy Conservation Code (2024)." The page does not set out the Village amendments, and this record did not read them, so it does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions.
Sales & use tax
Illinois taxes the roofer, not the job, and the operative rate is not keyed to the Minooka 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.
