Drip edge
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
Ice & water shield
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

Not required — Evans Municipal Code § 15.09.010, the full IRC amendment list, was read in its entirety and contains no UL 2218, Class 4, or impact-resistance provision anywhere.

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.)
Sales & use tax
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.
