Required — Not separately amended by the City of Greeley. § 22-77, Additions, deletions and amendments to residential code designated, is a self-declared exhaustive enumeration of every section the city amends, adds, or deletes ("Sections R105.2(1), R108.3, ... 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.

Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — City of Greeley Municipal Code § 22-77's exhaustive enumeration of every amended, added, or deleted residential-code section contains no R902 item and no other Chapter 9 roof-covering-classification provision. No UL 2218, Class 4, or impact-resistance provision appears anywhere in Chapter 3 (Residential Code, §§ 22-76 through 22-131).
Wind design criteria
115 mph wind design speed, topographic effects NO, special wind region NO, wind-borne debris zone NO, Seismic Design Category B, ground snow load 30 PSF (IRC Table R301.2(1) as added by City of Greeley Municipal Code § 22-87, 2021 IRC). Table also prints: weathering Severe, frost line depth 30", termite Slight to Moderate, flood hazards "July 16, 1979, January 20, 2016, 080184A", air freezing index 1224, mean annual temp 49° F.
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.
