Drip edge
Required — Not separately amended by the Town of Snowmass Village. Sec. 18-242, the town's full itemized amendment list to the International Residential Code, deletes R905.7 (wood shingles) and R905.8 (wood shakes) in their entirety but does not delete or modify R905.2.8.5, so the base IRC drip-edge requirement stands as adopted code. About drip edge
Ice & water shield
Required — Town of Snowmass Village Municipal Code Sec. 18-242(a), amended IRC Table R301.2(1), lists "Ice Barrier = Yes" as the townwide determination. About ice & water barrier
Impact-resistant roofing
Not required — Town of Snowmass Village Municipal Code Sec. 18-242, the town's full itemized amendment list to the International Residential Code, was read in full (10 lettered items, (a) through (j), covering R301.2(1) through E3401.5, closed by its enacting ordinance citations) and contains no provision addressing impact-resistant roofing, UL 2218, or Class 4 shingles. Item (c) mandates Class A fire-rated roof coverings (UL 790/ASTM E108) for all structures, which is a fire classification, not an impact/hail-resistance mandate.
Wind design criteria
Town of Snowmass Village Municipal Code Sec. 18-242(a) amends IRC Table R301.2(1) to read: "Ground Snow Load = 165 psf at 9,100 feet; Wind Speed = 76 mph fastest mile; Exposure = B; Seismic Design Category = C; Weathering = Severe; Frost Depth = 42"; Termite = Slight to Moderate; Winter Design Temp = -15° F; Flood Hazard = None; Air Freezing Index = 2,000; Mean Annual Temp = 40° F." Wind speed is stated in the older "fastest mile" methodology rather than 3-second gust, as printed.
Sales & use tax
10.65% combined (state 2.9% + Pitkin County 3.6% + Roaring Fork Transit Authority 0.4% + Confluence Early Childhood Development Service District 0.25% + Town of Snowmass Village 3.5%). Only the Town's own 3.5% is remitted directly to the Town; the remaining 7.15% (state, county, transit-authority, and early-childhood portions) is remitted to the State. The Town's own sales-tax page states that businesses and individuals delivering anything into Town limits, "including construction materials," must collect and remit the tax; no separate permit-issuance use-tax-deposit mechanism (of the kind Aspen/Pitkin County/Vail use) was found on the Town's own site.
