Roofing in Branson, Missouri

THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, PER THE CITY'S OWN AMENDMENT TEXT. The City's Building Code Information page lists "2018 International Residential Code - Local Amendments," and the amendment text it hosts (Chapter 18, Article V of the Branson Municipal Code) says "The International Residential Code, 2018 edition, published by the International Code Council, Inc." is "hereby adopted by the city with the additions, insertions, deletions and changes, if any, prescribed herein." The amendment document is marked as revised in January 2019. This record read that amendment text but not the full municipal code, which is hosted on a code publisher's site and was not read, so it does not state every City rule on roofing. Missouri law leaves building codes to local adoption: RSMo 67.280 provides that a community "may adopt or repeal an ordinance which incorporates by reference the provisions of any code."

The City's FAQ says "A building permit must be obtained prior to commencing any new construction or alterations to an existing structure" and that "All permit requests need to be made through the city's Citizenserve Portal." Its list of example projects does not name roofing, so this record does not state whether a roof replacement requires a permit.
