Permit process note
THE VILLAGE SAYS ROOFING REQUIRES A PERMIT. The Village's Permits & Contractor Information page says "Below is a list of common projects that require permits.

Adopted code
THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, WITH NAMED APPENDICES, PER THE VILLAGE'S OWN PERMITS PAGE. Under "Building Codes adopted by the Village of South Holland," the page lists "International Residential Code: Appendixes E, F, G, H, J, K, M, O, T (2021)," "International Existing Building Code (2021)" and "International Energy Conservation Code (current edition as adopted by the State of Illinois)." The page names no adopting ordinance and no local amendments, and this record did not read the Village Code, 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 South Holland 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.

The Illinois Capital Development Board says "The State has not adopted a building code for repairs to existing single family residences," so South Holland's roofing rules are its own: the Village's Permits & Contractor Information page lists the 2021 International Residential Code among the building codes it has adopted, and names roofing among the projects that require permits. 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.
