What Does the Minneapolis Roofing Code Actually Require for a Legal Reroof?
Minneapolis does not write its own separate roofing code from scratch. The city enforces the Minnesota State Building Code, found in Minnesota Rules Chapter 1309, which adopts the International Residential Code as the baseline for one- and two-family homes statewide, including Chapter 9, which covers roof assemblies specifically. Minneapolis administers permits and inspections locally through its Construction Code Services division.
