@John Woodrich I ended up calling they inspections department and they indicated R-10 rigid insulation cut to size and fit between the studs is acceptable or R-13 faced or non-faced will work! I think I’m going to go with the R-13 faced since that doesn’t require poly. Then I can staple the flaps to the studs which creates a vapor barrier and it comes pre-sized to fit the 16” OC studs. This seems like the most efficient path forward!
