The City of Stafford's Building Codes page states "As of May 3, 2018, by enactment of Ordinance 1110, The City of Stafford has adopted the 2015 ICC Codes and the 2017 NEC to be enforced on October 2, 2018," and lists the 2015 International Residential Code among the codes in effect.
Sales & use tax
8.25% combined (6.25% state + 2% City of Stafford), 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.
