Adopted code
As of January 1, 2020, the City of Craig has adopted the 2018 editions of the International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Existing Building Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Plumbing Code, International Energy Conservation Code, and International Property Maintenance Code.
Drip edge
Required — Not separately amended by the City of Craig. Municipal Code Chapter 15.06 (International Residential Code, 2018 edition, adopted by reference at § 15.06.010) sets out its complete additions, modifications, and deletions at §§ 15.06.030 through 15.06.070 (read in full) and does not delete or modify R905.2.8.5, so the base 2018 IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code. About drip edge
Ice & water shield
Required — Craig Municipal Code § 15.06.066 (Table R-301.2(1) fill-in, Ord. 1088 §1, 2019): "Ice barrier underlayment required: Yes." About ice & water barrier
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — No City of Craig amendment mandates Class 4 / UL 2218 impact-resistant roof coverings. Municipal Code Chapter 15.06 (International Residential Code amendments, §§ 15.06.010-15.06.070) was read in full and contains no UL 2218 or Class 4 reference; § 15.06.065's deletion list (R112, R302.13, R313, N1102.4.1.2, N1102.4.4) does not touch Chapter 9.
Wind design criteria
Craig Municipal Code § 15.06.066 (Table R-301.2(1) fill-in, Ord. 1088 §1, 2019) reads: "Roof snow load (non-reducible): 40 LB. Wind speed: 90 mph. Seismic design category: B. Weathering: Severe. Frost line depth: 48 inches. Termite: None. Winter design temp: 1 degree. Flood hazards: FIRM 1984. Air freezing index: 2307. Mean annual temperature: 41.8." The City's own separate "Design Criteria" webpage (ci.craig.co.us/departments/design_criteria.php) states a different wind speed for the same table, "Wind speed: 115 MPH," with every other cell matching the codified ordinance text exactly -- an unresolved divergence between the two City-published sources, noted here rather than harmonized; the codified Municode text (the actual adopting instrument) is used as this field's value.
Sales & use tax
8.9% combined per DR1002 (state 2.9% + Moffat County 2% + City of Craig 4%). The City's own Finance page confirms current self-collected status directly: "Current rates and self-collection went into effect on July 1, 2018," administered through MuniRevs, with no annual fee to register for a City of Craig sales tax account. DR1002 corroborates self-collection, listing Craig in the Home Rule Cities table at the same 4% city rate. Moffat County per DR1002's state-collected-county table: sales rate 2%, no county-level use tax ("None").
