Tips

  • Westcliffe's Design Criteria chart explicitly states ice barrier underlayment is NOT required (unlike Vail's 100%-coverage requirement) — do not over-spec a re-roof project assuming a blanket Colorado mountain-town ice-barrier mandate applies here.
  • Ask the Building Department for the Town's dedicated Re-Roofing ICC Building Guide, which may simplify the submittal for a straightforward like-for-like re-roof.

Westcliffe, Colorado has adopted: 2006 International Building Code (IBC), excluding all appendices unless specifically adopted — Westcliffe Municipal Code Title 3, Chapter 2, Section 3-2-1 (Ord. 7-2016, eff. 6/2/2016, repealing and replacing the section originally adopted by Ord. 3-1991, amended by Ord. 3-1996, Ord. 1-2000, Ord. 2-2008); 2006 International Residential Code (IRC), with Appendix E (Manufactured Housing Used as Dwellings) adopted in its entirety; 2006 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2006 International Fire Code (IFC), with Wet Mountain Fire Protection District named as the Department of Fire Prevention for the Town (Section 103.1 amendment); 2006 International Existing Building Code (IEBC) — locally amended to replace all references to the International Property Maintenance Code; 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC); No local International Plumbing Code (IPC) or National Electrical Code (NEC) edition is separately adopted by the Town — electrical and plumbing permitting/inspection authority is assigned entirely to the State of Colorado (see localAmendments and the electrical-permit/plumbing-permit entries below).; Currency note: the Town's own codified Municipal Code (Title 3, Chapter 2, most recently amended by Ord. 7-2016, eff. 6/2/2016) still specifies the 2006 ICC code family with no more recent edition-adoption ordinance found after a full chase (Municode library, Town press-release archive, and direct site search for a 2018/2021/2024-edition adoption ordinance all came up empty as of this review). Colorado is home-rule with no statewide-mandated code edition for a town this size, so the 2006 suite is treated as the current, governing adopted code for this file rather than assumed to have been silently upgraded.. Local amendments apply — see the Westcliffe overview page for the full list.

No. The Town's own Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria chart (Municipal Code Title 3, Chapter 2, IRC Section R301.2(1) amendment) explicitly lists Ice Barrier Underlayment Required = NO, unlike some other Colorado mountain jurisdictions that mandate full-coverage ice barrier.
