Abstract: We study semigroup $C^*$-algebras of $ax+b$-semigroups over integral domains. The goal is to generalize several results about $C^*$-algebras of $ax+b$-semigroups over rings of algebraic integers. We prove results concerning K-theory and structural properties like the ideal structure or pure infiniteness. Our methods allow us to treat $ax+b$-semigroups over a large class of integral domains containing all noetherian, integrally closed domains and coordinate rings of affine varieties over infinite fields.
