Prompted by a question from a CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep, Ashley Eldridge, in his 21st year as the Chimney Safety Institute Director of Education, talks about rooftops and codes in this latest helpful video courtesy of csia.org.

Even if your codes don't require that height, it's something to consider.
