Table R301.2(1), R302.3(2), Table R302.6, R302.7, ... and Part VIII of the residential code are hereby enacted as amended, added or deleted") and contains no R905.2.8.5 item, so the base 2021 IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code.

No UL 2218, Class 4, or impact-resistance provision appears anywhere in Chapter 3 (Residential Code, §§ 22-76 through 22-131).

Sales & use tax
7.01% combined (state 2.9% + City of Greeley 4.11%; Weld County levies no county sales tax and Greeley is outside the RTD/CD special-district boundary). Home-rule, self-collected (City of Greeley Municipal Code Section 6-150/6-160, administered by the City's own Sales Tax Division). At building-permit issuance the City collects an estimated amount of its 4.11% sales tax on the project's building materials up front; the contractor must file a Project Cost Reconciliation Form within 45 days of the Certificate of Occupancy, computing the actual tax due as total material cost x 0.0411 against the amount paid at permit issuance, with any balance due or refund reconciled at that time.
