Ice Barrier

Are ice barriers required for Nacogdoches ? Undetermined
Comments:

We contacted the City for additional amendments under § 14-33. However, no local amendments regarding Table R301.2 in the 2015 IRC were recorded. Any requirement for Ice Barriers is left undetermined. Most likely due to the southern warmer climate and consequently a probable lack of ice forming, ice barriers are likely not required by code.
