Tips

  • Ice and water shield is a town-wide Design Criteria requirement (not a minimum-elevation carve-out) — confirm your roofer is pricing full coverage per the Town's specification.
  • Pierce's Re-Roof Guide filename still references the 2018 IRC cycle; confirm current code-edition specifics for material/underlayment requirements with Town Hall or SAFEbuilt before finalizing a bid, since the live Design Criteria page lists 2024 IRC as the current adopted edition.

Pierce, Colorado has adopted: 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) — Town of Pierce Design Criteria page (Residential Construction Codes); 2024 Energy Conservation Code (residential) — Design Criteria page; 2024 International Building Code (IBC) — Design Criteria page (Commercial Construction Codes); 2024 International Plumbing Code (IPC); 2024 International Mechanical Code (IMC); 2024 International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC); 2024 International Energy Code (IECC); 2024 Pool and Spa Code; 2024 International Property Maintenance Code; 2024 International Existing Building Code; 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) — listed for both Residential and Commercial Construction Codes on the Design Criteria page; Note on document currency: the Town's downloadable project guides in the Building Permits 'Supporting Documents' list are titled for the prior code cycle ('2018 IRC Accessory Structures Guide', '2018 IRC Decks Guide', '2018 IRC Home Additions Guide', '2018 Pole Barns Guide', '2018 Swimming Pools Guide', '2018 IRC Basement Finish Guide', '2018 IRC Patio Covers - Carports Guide', '2018 IRC Window Replacement', '2018 IRC Re-Roof Guide', '2020 NEC - Significant Changes Residential') even though the Town's live Design Criteria page lists 2024 IRC/IBC/IPC/IMC/IFGC/IECC/Pool-Spa/Property-Maintenance/Existing-Building codes plus 2023 NEC as currently adopted. As in this corpus's established pattern (e.g. Vail), the actively maintained Design Criteria webpage is treated as the current, governing adopted-code list; the 2018/2020-titled PDFs are legacy guidance documents whose filenames were not renamed when the Town's adopted-code edition was updated.; State-level requirement: Electric Ready, Solar Ready, and EV Ready provisions apply per the Town's Design Criteria page, consistent with Colorado's HB22-1362 statewide energy-code floor (2021 IECC baseline plus electric/solar/EV-ready provisions, in effect July 2023-July 2026) — Pierce's own 2024 IECC adoption already meets or exceeds this floor, and the Town's page lists the electric/solar/EV-ready provisions as an explicit, separate 'State Code Requirements' item rather than folding them silently into the IECC line.. Local amendments apply — see the Pierce overview page for the full list.
