Excerpt from "Guidelines for Roofing with Tiles"
If the roof pitch does not exceed the minimum roof pitch and there are not more than three of the requirement-raising factors present, it is not necessary to tape the board joints.
If the roof pitch is 8 ° less that specified standard, and up to three of the requirement-raising factors are present, it is not necessary to tape the board joints.
If the roof pitch is 8 ° less that specified standard, a sub roof is required.
Factors that may raise requirements are: roof pitch, construction, use, climate and local regulations/conditions.
