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 AND BOND ON TOP OF THE STATE LICENSE. The Village's Building Permits page says "All contractors conducting work in the Village are required to register with Village of Round Lake Beach," that registrations expire April 30th, and lists a $50 contractor registration fee, a certificate of insurance, a $10,000 bond and a copy of any trade license. It warns that "registration and permit applications will be denied if a contractor is not in good standing with the Village." The Residential Roof Application says "Complete information on ALL contractors is required prior to permit approval."
Permit process note
A $50 OVER-THE-COUNTER ROOF PERMIT, A REGISTERED CONTRACTOR AND THE ROOFER'S STATE LICENSE. The Village's Building Permits page lists a "ROOF" residential permit application with a $50 fee and says "Over the counter applications generally take 24-48 hours for approval if all information is provided," naming "ROOF, SIDING, FURNACE REPLACEMENT, AC REPLACEMENT, SEWER REPAIR" as the permits best submitted through the online portal.

The roof application says "Schedule all inspections 48 hours in advance."
Adopted code
THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH AMENDMENTS, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN CODES & STANDARDS LIST. The Village's Code Enforcement page says "The Village bases its building codes on the below independent and authoritative sources," and lists "2021 International Building Code with Amendments," "2021 International Residential Code with Amendments" and "Current Illinois Energy Conservation Code." The amendments are in the Village's Municipal Code, which this record did not read, so it does not state whether the Village has amended the IRC's roof provisions.
Drip edge
Required — REQUIRED, IN THE VILLAGE'S OWN WRITTEN WORDS. The Residential Roof Application says "Drip edge must be installed at eaves and raked edges," with ice and water shield over the drip edge along the eaves and "all underlayment under the drip edge along raked edges." This rests on the department's own written sheet; the Village's enacted amendments were not read. About drip edge
Ice & water shield
Required — REQUIRED, IN THE VILLAGE'S OWN WRITTEN WORDS. The Residential Roof Application's pre-roof inspection item reads "All underlayment with ice &water shield installed a minimum of 24 inches inside the exterior wall line of the building," and adds "Ice & water shield shall be installed over the drip edge along eaves." This rests on the department's own written sheet; the Village's enacted amendments were not read. About ice & water barrier
Mid-roof inspection
Required — REQUIRED, IN THE VILLAGE'S OWN WRITTEN WORDS. The Residential Roof Application lists a "Pre-roof Inspection" with "All underlayment with ice &water shield installed a minimum of 24 inches inside the exterior wall line of the building," and warns "Re-inspection fees will be charged for roofs that require more than one pre roof inspection." A "Final Inspection, at completion of all work" checks that "roof has proper ventilation." This rests on the department's own written sheet; the Village's enacted amendments were not read.
Sales & use tax
Illinois taxes the roofer, not the job, and the operative rate is not keyed to the Round Lake Beach 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.
