Roofing permits & building code in St. Ann

THE 2015 INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE, PER THE CITY'S OWN CODE ENFORCEMENT PAGE. The page says "The City of St. Ann utilizes the 2015 IBC, IRC, IEBC." The City's building regulations are codified in its Municipal Code, which is hosted on a code publisher's site that this record did not read, so it does not state whether the City has amended the IRC's roof provisions or which ordinance adopted these editions. 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."
