Adopted code
The City of Pampa's Current Building Codes page states: "Beginning on May 1st 2018 the City of Pampa will begin enforcing the following codes:" and lists the 2018 International Building Code, 2018 International Residential Code, 2018 International Energy Conservation Code, 2020 NFPA 70 National Electrical Code, 2018 International Fuel Gas Code, 2018 International Plumbing Code and 2018 International Mechanical Code.

Sales & use tax
8.25% combined (6.25% state + 2% City of Pampa), 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.
