Roofing permits & building code in Marshall

Required
Adopted building code
THE 2021 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, PER THE CITY'S OWN CODES LIST. The department's page says "A list of our currently adopted codes can be found below," and the City's Building & Construction Codes list, updated 5/15/2023, names "International Residential Code /2021" together with the 2021 building, existing building, fire, fuel gas, mechanical, plumbing, energy conservation and property maintenance codes. The City's ordinances are hosted on a code publisher's site that this record did not read, so it does not state which ordinance adopted these editions or whether the City has amended the IRC's roof provisions. 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."
