Adopted code
The City of Waxahachie's Building & Community Services page states "The City of Waxahachie adopted the 2021 International Codes and the 2020 National Electrical Code on May 20, 2024, with an effective date of June 1, 2024." The city's Code of Ordinances page lists the 2021 International Residential Code with a city-hosted amendments document and states that the city "passed ordinance 3505, which adopted the 2021 International Codes and the 2020 National Electrical Code, effective June 1, 2024."
Sales & use tax
8.25% combined (6.25% state + 2% City of Waxahachie), 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.
