The 2018 International Building Code and 2018 International Residential Code (with appendix chapters) are adopted by reference in municipal code section 65-1, Standards Adopted by Reference, most recently amended by Ordinance No. 26-09.
Drip edge
Required — Not separately amended by the Town of Frisco. § 65-3, Amendments to the International Residential Code, was read in full (30 numbered items, R101.1 through the wildland-urban-interface appendix) and does not delete or modify R905.2.8.5, so the base 2018 IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code.

Ice & water shield
Required — "Ice Barrier Underlayment Required: Yes" (IRC Table R301.2(1) as amended by § 65-3 item (7)), footnote h: "There has been a history of local damage from the effects of ice damming." Corroborated by § 65-3 item (27), which replaces R905.1.2 in its entirety to require an ASTM D1970 self-adhering ice dam protection underlayment on all roof coverings (R905.2 through R905.8, and R905.10), extending up the slope of the roof from the eave a minimum of 8 feet 6 inches inside the exterior wall line (exception: unconditioned detached accessory structures). About ice & water barrier
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — Frisco Municipal Code § 65-3, Amendments to the International Residential Code, was read in full (30 numbered items, R101.1 through the wildland-urban-interface appendix, textually exhaustive) and contains no UL 2218, Class 4, or impact-resistance provision. Item (26) amends R902.1 to require Class A or B roofing tested to UL 790 or ASTM E108 -- a fire classification, not an impact rating.
Wind design criteria
90 mph wind design speed, topographic effects No, Seismic Design Category B, ground snow load 80 PSF (IRC Table R301.2(1) as amended by item (7) of Frisco Municipal Code § 65-3, Amendments to the International Residential Code, 2018 IRC).

The Town of Frisco is a self-collecting sales tax jurisdiction for its own 2.0% share; the State, County, and special-district portions are remitted to the State of Colorado. The Town's own tax page does not describe a separate construction-materials use tax collected at building-permit issuance; sales tax on materials is collected by the vendor at the point of sale under the rates above.
