The town's website publishes no building-department page; building regulation is codified in Municipal Code Chapter 6 (Building Regulations), linked from the town site's Municode page. Chapter 6 provides "for the issuance of permits and collection of fees" for construction, alteration, repair, and demolition work, with permit fees "paid as determined by a schedule of fees adopted by motion by the board of trustees" (amended IBC section 109.2). Sec. 6-1: the Board of Trustees appoints a Building Inspector at its first regular meeting following each biennial election as "the chief enforcement officer for all building regulations." Sec. 6-2 authorizes stop orders for work done in violation of the code or at variance with any permit. No roofing-specific permit language was found in Chapter 6, so no roofing-specific requirement is asserted; contact Town Hall for permit forms.

Municipal Code Sec. 6-29 ("Adoption of codes; amendments"): "The International Building Code, 2009 edition, is hereby adopted by the town" and "The International Residential Code, 2009 edition" is adopted, each with local amendments (retitling as the Building Code of Log Lane Village, adopting the IBC's Appendix B board of appeals, and substituting a board-adopted permit fee schedule). The code text is the 1987 municipal code as codified on Municode; no newer ICC edition appears in Chapter 6.

Not required — The Town's adopted 2009 IRC contains no drip-edge requirement. Section R905.2.8, Flashing, covers only base and cap flashing (R905.2.8.1) and valleys (R905.2.8.2) in this edition; there is no R905.2.8.5 "Drip edge" subsection, a provision the IRC did not add until a later edition. A full-text search of the adopted 2009 code for "drip edge" returns zero matches. About drip edge

Not required — The Town's own Table R301.2(1), Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria, as completed by Sec. 6-29(4)(c) (Ord. No. 04-11, 6-8-2011), answers the table's Ice Barrier Underlayment Required column "No" for Log Lane Village. About ice & water barrier

Not required — The Town of Log Lane Village Code of Ordinances, Chapter 6, Building Regulations, was read in full as codified through Ordinance No. 2024-05. Section 6-29, enacted by Ordinance No. 04-11 on June 8, 2011 and amended by Resolution No. 1-16 on November 3, 2016, is the whole of the Town's adoption: it adopts the 2009 International Building Code, the 2009 International Residential Code, and the 2009 Mechanical, Property Maintenance and Energy Conservation Codes, each followed immediately by its own itemized amendment list. Every amendment was read. On the Building Code side they retitle the code, adopt the Appendix B board of appeals and set its composition, replace the fee schedule at Section 109.2, delete the plumbing, property-maintenance, fire-prevention and electrical chapters and the fire-protection shop-drawing section, add an administrative enforcement section, exempt agricultural buildings and small outbuildings from permits, and address marquee and sign zoning conformance and flood-hazard areas. On the Residential Code side they retitle the code, adopt Appendix E, replace Table R301.2(1) with local climatic and geographic design criteria, replace the fee schedule, delete the residential sprinkler sections and the plumbing and electrical chapters, lower the permit-exemption threshold from 200 to 120 square feet, amend carbon-monoxide alarm placement, and add an exception at Section R315.1.1 excusing replacement of roofing or siding from triggering that alarm requirement. That exception is the only place roofing is mentioned in the chapter, and it governs alarms rather than covering material. No amendment touches Chapter 9 of the Residential Code or Chapter 15 of the Building Code, and neither the adopted codes nor any Town amendment requires impact- resistant roof coverings or names a UL 2218 or Class 4 standard. The Colorado Energy Office Statewide Building Code Adoption dataset, revised April 2, 2026, likewise reports a 2009 adoption for the Town. The only statewide instrument reaching reroofing is the Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code, 8 CCR 1507-39, effective July 1, 2026 in areas designated wildland-urban interface under that code, which requires a Class A roof covering tested to ASTM E108 or UL 790 where 25 percent or more of the roof surface is replaced, at Sections 101.6 and 403.2; that is a fire classification independent of impact rating, and the code sets no impact-resistance requirement.

The Town's own Table R301.2(1), as completed by Sec. 6-29(4)(c) (Ord. No. 04-11, 6-8-2011), sets: Ground Snow Load 30 psf, Ultimate Design Wind Speed 90 mph, Exposure C, Topographic Effects No, Seismic Design Category B, Weathering Severe, Frost Line Depth 36 inches.

The Town adopted the 2009 IRC by reference (Sec. 6-29(3)) and its own itemized amendment list at Sec. 6-29(4) does not touch Chapter 9, Roof Assemblies, so the base 2009 IRC governs a reroof here unmodified. Section R907.3, Recovering versus replacement, quoted here rather than left behind the ICC paywall, provides that new roof coverings "shall not be installed without first removing existing roof coverings where any of the following conditions occur," and lists four. The existing roof or covering "is water-soaked or has deteriorated to the point that the existing roof or roof covering is not adequate as a base for additional roofing"; "the existing roof covering is wood shake, slate, clay, cement or asbestos-cement tile"; "the existing roof has two or more applications of any type of roof covering"; and, fourth, "For asphalt shingles, when the building is located in an area subject to moderate or severe hail exposure according to Figure R903.5." That fourth condition is carried by the 2006 and 2009 editions and by no edition after them, and because it can require a full tear-off over a SINGLE existing layer, no layer count states the rule here. Whether a given building sits in a moderate or severe hail exposure area under Figure R903.5 is a per-location fact that this record does not establish. Two exceptions travel with the section: a complete and separate roofing system such as a standing-seam metal roof that does not rely on the existing roof for support, and metal panel, metal shingle, concrete or clay tile installed over an existing wood shake roof under Section R907.4.

Unamended 2009 IRC Section R803.1, Lumber sheathing, provides: "Allowable spans for lumber used as roof sheathing shall conform to Table R803.1. Spaced lumber sheathing for wood shingle and shake roofing shall conform to the requirements of Sections R905.7 and R905.8. Spaced lumber sheathing is not allowed in Seismic Design Category D2." Table R803.1 sets a minimum net thickness of 5/8 inch for lumber sheathing at 24-inch rafter/beam spacing, rising to 1-1/2 inch tongue-and-groove at wider spacings with minimum bending strength/stiffness ratings. Wood structural panel sheathing must conform to DOC PS 1, DOC PS 2 or CSA O437 with an approved grade mark, Exposure 1 or better where the underside is exposed, and be installed within the allowable spans of Table R503.2.1.1(1) or APA E30.
