Adopted code
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.
About drip edgeIce & 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 barrierImpact-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.
