Permit process note
The department's page lists "ROOF REPLACEMENT" among its "Building Permits Required" items. It says the department "performs building plan review, zoning site plan review, and conducts occupancy and property maintenance inspections." Electrical, plumbing and mechanical work is permitted separately through St. Louis County.
Adopted code
THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, PER THE CITY'S OWN CODE ENFORCEMENT PAGE. The page says "The City of St. Ann utilizes the 2015 IBC, IRC, IEBC." The City's building regulations are codified in its Municipal Code, which is hosted on a code publisher's site that this record did not read, so it does not state whether the City has amended the IRC's roof provisions or which ordinance adopted these editions. 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 St. Ann 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.

Building permits in the City of St. Ann, Missouri, in St. Louis County, are handled by the City's Building and Zoning Department at City Hall, 10405 St. Charles Rock Road. Missouri leaves residential building codes to local adoption, so St. Ann's roofing rules are its own. The City's Code Enforcement page says it uses the 2015 IBC, IRC and IEBC, and the department's page lists roof replacement among the work that requires a building permit. This listing covers the office's contact details, the City's own statements on code and permits, and the state's sales-tax treatment of roofing materials.
