Town of Hayden Building Code Ordinance: ICC 2021 Editions.
Drip edge
Required — Not separately amended by the Town of Hayden. The Town's resolution adopts the 2021 IRC by reference with amendments and deletions set out in its own IRC amendments section (the same adoption-clause-then- amendments-section structure as the City of Steamboat Springs' and Routt County's companion resolutions); that section does not delete or modify R905.2.8.5, so the base 2021 IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code.
About drip edgeIce & water shield
Required — Town of Hayden 2021 ICC Building Code Adoption resolution, Table R301.2(1) as amended: "Ice Shield Underlayment Required – Yes per IRC Section R905.1.2 Ice Barriers."
About ice & water barrierImpact-resistant roofing
Not required — No Town of Hayden amendment mandates Class 4 / UL 2218 impact-resistant roof coverings. The full 36-page adoption resolution was read in full and contains no UL 2218 or Class 4 reference anywhere.
Wind design criteria
The Town of Hayden 2021 ICC Building Code Adoption resolution amends Table R301.2(1) Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria to read: "Wind Speed – 115 MPH (ultimate design wind speed)," "Topographic Effects – No," "Seismic Design Category – C for all One Family or Two Family Dwellings, and Townhomes under the IRC," "Climate Zone 7," "Subject to Damage by Weathering – Severe," "Subject to Damage by Frost line Depth – 48 inches (1220mm)," "Subject to Damage by Termite – None to slight," "Subject to Damage by Decay – None to slight," "Outdoor Winter Design Dry-Bulb Temperature – -15ºF (-26ºC)," "Flood Hazards – FIRM, February 4, 2005," "Air Freezing Index – Steamboat 2239" (as printed in Hayden's own resolution; quoted as printed), "Mean Annual Temperature – 40-45ºF (4.5-7.2ºC)." Ground Snow Load is not a single printed figure; the resolution directs applicants to the department's site-specific GIS map instead.
Sales & use tax
8.9% combined (state 2.9% + Routt County 1% + Town of Hayden 5%). The January 2026 DR 1002 prints Hayden's city row at 5% with a 2% town use tax on building materials, the roofing-relevant figure; this corrects an earlier 7.9% figure built on the 4% rate printed in the June 2019 edition. The Town's own page confirms state-collected status directly: "The Town of Hayden uses the State of Colorado for Sales Tax collections. To remit sales tax or for specific questions about sales tax, please visit the Colorado Department of Revenue."
