What Castle Rock requires, in plain language

Castle Rock builds to the Town of Castle Rock adopted building codes, effective June 30, 2026. Published roofing guidance still references the 2018 IRC, so confirm the edition. That edition, not the newest code published nationally, is the rulebook an inspector in Douglas County holds your roof to.

Layer limit in Castle Rock: One layer. This is the line item that moves a bid the most. If your existing roof is already at the limit, the deck gets stripped before new material goes down, and the labor plus dump fees belong in the written price. Flat roof sections are capped at One layer.

Wind is what Castle Rock tests shingles against. Shingles need a 115 mph ultimate design wind speed, Exposure B, per the town's published guidance rating. Rating is proven under D 3161 Class F.

Underlayment and edge metal are where roofs fail inspection. Ice and water shield: No. Drip edge: Yes. Minimum drip edge size Must cover sheathing.

Castle Rock adopted updated building codes and the 2025 Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code effective in mid 2026. The town's own roofing guidance still cites 2018 IRC wind data, so confirm the edition that applies to your permit date.
