Tips

  • Unlike the general building permit application, the Re-Roof & Siding Pre-Application is a dedicated one-page form capturing existing/new roofing materials, layer count, felt weight, and siding type.
  • Book the mandatory pre-reroof inspection before ordering material or starting tear-off — same-day scheduling is not guaranteed.
  • A 15-lb or 30-lb felt weight must be specified on the application for the new roofing installation.

Osburn, Idaho has adopted: 2018 International Building Code (IBC) — cited directly by permit number/section on the City of Osburn Building Permit Extension Request form (IBC 2018 §105.5, permit expiration/extension rule); International Residential Code (IRC) — Osburn Municipal Code §8-22 amends IBC §108.3 and IRC §R108.3 (building permit valuation set by the building official per the city's current fee resolution), per Resolution No. 2025-11; Osburn Municipal Code Chapter 8 — Buildings and Building Regulations, Article II (Building Codes); Osburn Municipal Code Chapter 14 — Floods (floodplain development permitting); Osburn Municipal Code Chapter 36 — Zoning; Note: Idaho Code §39-4116 requires all Idaho local governments that enforce building codes to adopt, by ordinance, the ICC codes designated by the Idaho Building Code Board on the state's standard adoption cycle. Osburn's local adoptions are codified in Osburn Municipal Code Chapter 8 (Buildings and Building Regulations), Article II (Building Codes), Secs. 8-19 through 8-27, hosted on Municode (library.municode.com/id/osburn, nodeId COOR_CH8BUBURE_ARTIIBUCO). The city's adoption of the 2018 IBC is confirmed there and in the city's own resolutions and permit-application PDFs; Sec. 8-19 also adopts the IECC and IMC, and Sec. 8-22 carries the valuation-schedule provision plus extensive local amendment text — including a complete codified design-criteria set (wind, snow, seismic, frost, soil bearing) — recorded in localAmendments below.; Codified adoption text, Osburn Municipal Code Sec. 8-19 ('Codes adopted'): 'The following nationally recognized codes are adopted as the official building codes of the city:' — (1) International Building Code, (2) International Residential Code, (3) International Energy Conservation Code, (4) International Mechanical Code, each 'prepared by the International Code Council, Inc., as adopted by the state or the state building code board, together with any amendments or revisions... made by the state building code board through the negotiated rulemaking process.' (Code 1975, Sec. 15.04.010; Ord. No. 265, Sec. 3(part), 2008; Ord. No. 276, Secs. 1, 2, 2-8-2011; Ord. No. 289, Sec. 1, 1-13-2015.) Note: Sec. 8-19 names NO edition year for any of the four codes — each floats to whatever the Idaho Building Code Board has designated. The IBC edition cited here is therefore sourced from the City's own permit forms rather than from the ordinance. The IECC is adopted under this same section. The full article is Osburn Municipal Code Chapter 8 (Buildings and Building Regulations), Article II (Building Codes), Secs. 8-19 through 8-27, published on library.municode.com (nodeId COOR_CH8BUBURE_ARTIIBUCO).; International Property Maintenance Code — adopted at Osburn Municipal Code Sec. 8-24. The ordinance carries a drafting defect: the SECTION HEADING reads '2012 International Property Maintenance Code adopted', but the section BODY adopts the IPMC 'as adopted by the state or the state building code board' with no edition year. Heading and body disagree. The same defect appears at Sec. 8-23. Do not rely on '2012' without confirming with the City (208-752-8551). Source: Osburn Municipal Code Chapter 8 (Buildings and Building Regulations), Article II (Building Codes), Secs. 8-19 through 8-27, on library.municode.com.; International Mechanical Code — separately re-adopted at Osburn Municipal Code Sec. 8-23 (as well as at Sec. 8-19(4)). The section as enacted contains two defects, reproduced here as written: (1) the heading reads '2012 International Mechanical Code adopted' while the body cites no edition, adopting the IMC 'as adopted by the state or the state building code board'; and (2) the body's scope clause describes the MECHANICAL code as providing 'a minimum standard for all electrical wiring, installation of electrical fixtures, apparatus or electrical appliances, for furnishing light, heat or power, or other electrical work' — that is electrical-code language left in a mechanical-code section. (Code 1975, Sec. 15.04.060; Ord. No. 265, Sec. 6, 2008; Ord. No. 289, Sec. 2, 1-13-2015.) See Osburn Municipal Code Chapter 8 (Buildings and Building Regulations), Article II (Building Codes), Secs. 8-19 through 8-27, on library.municode.com.. Local amendments apply — see the Osburn overview page for the full list.

Two roofing application layers are allowed on an existing roof system. A third layer is permitted only if it is metal and the existing roof system is sound. Mobile/manufactured homes with a 30-lb snow-load roof system are limited to one layer unless the second application is metal.
