Adopted building code
THE 2018 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, PER THE CITY'S OWN WEBSITE. The Community Development page says "The City of Sikeston has adopted and enforces the following building codes," and the list begins with "2018 International Building Code" and "2018 International Residential Code" and also names the 2018 International Existing Building Code. The City's Municipal Code is 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."
