General Code's core service. They take your often disorganized and inconsistently formatted local laws (ordinances) and turn them into a structured, indexed, and legally sound municipal code. This involves editing, formatting, updating, and ensuring consistency across all code sections.

This is a web-based platform that provides easy, 24/7 access to your codified municipal code. It allows staff and citizens to quickly search, browse, and retrieve the information they need from any device with an internet connection.

This subscription service offers access to a vast library of nearly 4,000 municipal codes from other jurisdictions. It's a valuable resource for legal research, comparing best practices, and understanding how other communities address similar issues.

This service helps you digitize and manage all related documents and records beyond the core code itself. This could include meeting minutes, agendas, resolutions, and other supporting materials, making them easily searchable and accessible.

An Application Programming Interface (API) allows your codified code to seamlessly integrate with other software your municipality uses. This enables you to link code sections directly to permitting systems, GIS software, or other applications, automating workflows and improving data flow.

This feature combines your zoning code with a digital map of your municipality. Users can click on a property on the map and instantly see the zoning regulations that apply to it. This greatly simplifies understanding and applying complex zoning rules.

General Code ensures that your zoning maps and other graphics are optimized for both print and online viewing. This means they are clear, legible, and maintain their quality regardless of the medium.

These are tools that help visualize the potential development allowed under your zoning regulations. This might include 3D modeling or other visualization techniques that allow property owners and developers to easily understand what they can build on a given lot.

This service allows you to easily integrate any local amendments or modifications you make to the International Codes (I-Codes) directly within the I-Codes themselves. This keeps all building code information in one place and avoids confusion.

The International Codes (I-Codes) are a set of comprehensive model building codes developed by the International Code Council (ICC). General Code, through its partnership with ICC, provides access to these codes.

Similar to the eCode360 API, this API allows you to integrate the I-Code content directly into your existing software applications, such as plan review systems or permitting software.

General Code partners with other providers to offer solutions for managing permitting, licensing, and code enforcement activities. This likely involves software for tracking applications, issuing permits and licenses, managing inspections, and enforcing codes.

General Code also partners to offer plan review services, which likely include software or services to manage the review and approval of building plans and other development applications. Municity 5 is mentioned as part of this.

This long history demonstrates General Code's deep understanding of codification best practices and their ability to create accurate and legally sound codes.

General Code's focus is entirely on code management, ensuring that their solutions are tailored to the specific needs of municipalities.

This allows for easy navigation and cross-referencing between different sections of the code and related documents.

The APIs enable seamless integration with other software, improving data flow and automation.

The online platforms provide robust search functionality to quickly find specific code sections or information.

The eCode subscription provides access to a large library of codes for research and comparison.

This partnership ensures access to the latest and most up-to-date building codes (I-Codes).
