Bring Your Zoning Practices into the Digital Age
Is your zoning ordinance still housed in a binder or hosted online as a PDF?
It is time to leave that practice behind. The advanced technology powering the tools and features on the enCodePlus platform make the shift to digital easy and incredibly rewarding.
EFFICIENT
Streamline your work with collaborative drafting and editing tools, contemporary styling, consistent formatting, real-time web publishing, and complete integration of your zoning and land development regulations.
ENGAGING AND ACCESSIBLE
Publish ordinances, guidelines and manuals using a branded, intuitive interface that enables staff, citizens, public officials and other stakeholders to engage with them.
Because your regulatory documents are hosted in the cloud, users and collaborators can access them at any time and from any device or location.
IN YOUR CONTROL
Maintain complete control of your ordinances, how they are presented, what revisions are made, and when they are published to the web.
SECURELY STORED
Archive and maintain your ordinances redundantly and securely in the cloud for simple search, retrieval and peace of mind.
Thoroughly modernize your zoning practices for ease and functionality with enCodePlus.
There has never been a better time to digitize and integrate your zoning ordinance with advanced user tools.
- Electronic. By digitizing your ordinances, linking them to related documents and resources, and publishing them online, you create a centralized hub for all planning and zoning information.
- Streamlined. Powerful, but easy-to-use features simplify both management and administration of published documents, customized research and analytical tools, and other useful resources.

The intricate and data-driven nature of zoning practices is perfectly suited for the application of modern technological advancements. With enCodePlus, you’re empowered to harness industry-leading technology to transition your practices to the digital realm.
What does zoning modernization mean to you?
- BETTER ACCESS
- MORE CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT
- ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Traditionally, land use ordinances have not been easy to find and have been even more difficult to understand. Using enCodePlus tools, this is no longer the case. Make zoning easy (or at least, easier)!
Help citizens find the information they’re looking for as easy and fast as possible. Save them an email, phone call or office visit by making information readily available on their phone, tablet or computer.
Implement enCodePlus’ tools and features in as little as 30 days. Display your ordinances in an online interactive format and use our lookup and navigation tools and one-click summaries to package information in an easy-to-understand format.
Demonstrate to management and your elected officials the cost savings and undeniable benefits resulting from always up-to-date regulations, improved search and navigation, built-in development calculators, direct links to the zoning map, and printable and exportable summary reports. enCodePlus is a “must have” rather than a “nice to have”.
Administering ordinances can consume an inordinate amount of time. Added staff, delays in response and long meetings usually result.
The structure, organization, format and presentation of ordinances impact how they’re read, interpreted and used by staff, development applicants, reviewers and residents.
Well-written, intuitively organized documents designed for the end user can streamline processes, shorten time frames and make for a pleasant experience.
Are Your Regulations Still in the Dark Ages?
Over time, our ordinances become increasingly out-of-date and technology is quickly outdated. We muddle through and do the best we can with the tools available. Not optimal but understandable.
What if you could catch up and stay up to date with the leading technology and zoning and GIS tool? This is what’s possible when you modernize with EnCodePlus. A small investment today yield ten-fold time savings for years to come. It’s worth it!
