International Residential Code and International Building Code with City of Evans amendments; verify the current adopted edition with the city.

Required — Not separately amended by the City of Evans. Evans Municipal Code § 15.09.010, the full IRC amendment list, was read in its entirety (R101 through the AM100-series day-care appendix, textually exhaustive) and does not delete or modify R905.2.8.5 — indeed it contains no R700, R800, or R900-series section at all — so the base 2018 IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code. About drip edge

Required — Evans Municipal Code § 15.09.010's fill-in of IRC Table R301.2(1) prints "Yes" in the "Ice barrier Underlayment Required" column. About ice & water barrier

Evans Municipal Code § 15.09.010 fills in IRC Table R301.2(1) Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria: "Ground Snow Load Wind Design Seismic Design Category Subject to Damage From Winter Design Temp Ice barrier Underlayment Required Flood Hazard Air Freezing Index Mean Annual Temp Speed (V) Topographic effects Weathering Frost Line Depth Termite 30psf 115 No B Severe 30 in. Slight to Moderate 1 Yes * 1000 45ºF *As identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in a scientific and engineering report entitled, "The Flood Insurance Study for the City of Evans, Colorado" dated January 20, 2016." (Table headers and values as rendered by Municode's own table-flattening; the printed column order maps Ground Snow Load=30psf, Wind Speed=115, Topographic effects=No, Seismic Design Category=B, Weathering=Severe, Frost Line Depth=30in, Termite=Slight to Moderate, Winter Design Temp=1, Ice Barrier Underlayment Required=Yes, Air Freezing Index=1000, Mean Annual Temp=45F.)

8.40% combined (state 2.9% + Weld County 0%, no county sales tax + City of Evans 4.50% + Evans Fire Protection District 1%). Evans is a home-rule municipality and DR 1002's "Home Rule Cities" table prints its rate as 4.50%; this corrects an earlier 6.40% figure built on the 3.50% rate printed in the June 2019 edition. DR 1002's Fire Protection District table lists an "Evans" district at 1% whose boundary is "Evans area including small surrounding areas of Weld county," so it reaches the City. No RTD/CD district applies -- Evans is not one of the Weld County areas annexed into the RTD/CD boundary, which per DR 1002 is limited to annexed areas of Longmont, Erie, Brighton and Lochbuie.
