Permit process note
The Town's "Permit Requirements Guideline" (Building Permit Guidelines, Rev. 7/12), under "Exterior Repair and Replacement and/or Addition," lists "Replacement of roof when done with new material or replacement of 25% or more of the roof sheathing" with "1" (a Building Permit) required from the Building Department, distinct from the "No Permit Required" column used elsewhere in the same table for minor work such as painting or storm-window installation.
Adopted code
The Town of Eagle has adopted the 2021 editions of the International Codes (including the International Building Code, International Residential Code, International Mechanical Code, International Plumbing Code, International Fuel Gas Code, International Existing Building Code, International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, and International Energy Conservation Code) and the 2020 National Electric Code, along with regional amendments.
Drip edge
Required — Not separately amended by the Town of Eagle. The "Amendments to the 2021 International Residential Code" document (a section-by-section amendment list running from R102.4 through P2804.6.1, ending with an "END" marker) was read in its entirety and does not delete or modify Section R905.2.8.5, so the base 2021 IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code. About drip edge
Ice & water shield
Required — The Town of Eagle's Table R301.2(1) amendment (2021 IRC Amendments) prints "Ice Barrier Underlayment: Yes" as one of the filled-in table values, confirmed by reading the rendered table image directly. About ice & water barrier
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — The Town of Eagle's "Amendments to the 2021 International Residential Code" (the complete section-by-section amendment list, R102.4 through P2804.6.1) was read in its entirety and contains no UL 2218, Class 4, or impact-resistance provision anywhere.
Wind design criteria
The Town of Eagle's "Amendments to the 2021 International Residential Code" fills in Table R301.2(1): Ground Snow Load 65 lb/ft^2; Wind Speed 115 mph (3 sec-gust)/76 fastest mile; Topographic Effects No; Special Wind Region No; Windborne Debris Zone No; Seismic Design Category B; Weathering Severe; Frost Line Depth 48"; Termite None; Winter Design Temp -22 degrees F; Ice Barrier Underlayment Yes; Flood Hazards "Local Code"; Air Freezing Index 2500; Mean Annual Temp 43.9 degrees F. Read directly from the rendered table image (not the raw text extraction, which garbles the multi-column header) to confirm the printed values exactly.
Sales & use tax
9.4% combined (state 2.9% + Eagle County 1.5% + Town of Eagle 4.5% + Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority 0.5%). The Town's own Sales Tax page states: "Retail sales inside the Town limits are taxed at a rate of 9.4%, comprised of: Colorado State tax 2.9%, Eagle County tax 1.5%, Town of Eagle tax 4.5%, Eagle County Regional Transportation Authority tax .5%," and separately: "The Colorado Department of Revenue collects the tax on behalf of the Town of Eagle" -- confirming Eagle is state-collected despite being a home-rule municipality. This live figure supersedes CO DOR DR 1002 (rev. 06/19/19), which prints an older county figure of 1.50% (footnoted as including the 0.5% Eagle Mass Transportation System tax) and an older town figure of 4.50%, without listing the Regional Transportation Authority component separately. Re-verified 2026-08-27 against the January 2026 edition of Colorado Department of Revenue form DR 1002, read from a rendered image of its tables rather than from extracted text: the state, county and city figures above match that edition exactly. Where the text above names the June 19, 2019 revision of DR 1002, that describes the edition the figure was originally taken from and is not a current citation.
