Tips

  • Bow Mar's published Roof Specifications page still cites 2015-cycle IRC section numbers (R904-R907) even though Ordinance No. 340 updated the Town's general code adoption to the 2021 IRC — treat the specific numeric/technical roofing requirements (ice barrier extension, underlayment layers, wind rating, drip edge amendment) as the governing technical detail regardless of the cycle-number label, since these are the Town's actively published, dedicated roofing-code page.
  • A Mid-Roof Inspection at 25% completion is a distinct requirement beyond the standard final inspection — schedule this checkpoint in your project timeline.
  • The roofing permit fee itself is not clearly published as a specific dollar figure separate from the general valuation table — confirm the applicable fee with the Building Department before submitting.
