Is your code still living in a binder?
OR ON A LESS-THAN-INSPIRING WEBSITE?
Don’t waste another minute on this antiquated practice!
Local governments have been stuck in the past, manually building and supplementing paper-based codes for ages. Yes, it’s the way “its always been done” but is it the best way?
THERE IS A BETTER WAY
If drafting, publishing and managing your code online can be better and easier, don’t you owe it to yourself to find out how?
enCodePlus’ codification technology is your ticket to modern, streamlined management of your code of ordinances.
Worried about accuracy and timeliness? Clerks and attorneys, this is the perfect solution for you!
We all know codes of ordinances are complex, and their management is often a challenging and time-consuming process. Amendments occur often and supplementation is commonly months behind.
Is the code you’re looking at current, or not? How long do you have to wait for the latest supplements to arrive?
Who has time for that?
There has never been a better time to explore advanced codification practices and there has never been a better place to start!
ZONING INTEGRATION

codification
We can wait weeks for our third-party codifier to codify and supplement our code. It often feels like the supplements are outdated before they even arrive.
Isn't there a better way?Solution
Self-Publishing
We are tired of depending on a third-party codifier.
Can we use this software to update the code ourselves?Solution

Special Features for Clerks & Attorneys
enCodeplus revolutionizes code management for clerks and attorneys, offering streamlined zoning integration, efficient full- or self-publishing, and eliminating manual supplementation. State-of-the-art tools tailored for accuracy and accessibility ensure a seamless and collaborative process.
We designed tools and features just for you.
- Accurate
- Timely
- Efficient
It’s time to bring your code into the digital age using the industry’s leading technology.
Until today, bound or loose-leaf supplements, 3-ring binders and bland websites are out of step with modern practices.
Now, the codification process may be largely automated with much improved accuracy, efficiency and timeliness. Publishing may occur in near real-time, amendment history and archive records are auto-generated, and the executed ordinance and legislative documents are linked and accessible from within the code.
Our technology makes codification easy and fast.
Automated features for section numbering, cross-referencing, and recording amendment history help manage your code efficiently and effectively.
You can also opt for administrative access to write and edit text amendments, seek and receive approval, and document legislative actions.
Is the zoning ordinance appended to or independent of the code? Is it uniquely formatted or include tables and graphics?
Using enCodePlus, it can be seamlessly integrated with the code of ordinances, so they’re centralized and codified together in a single document. The planners will love it!
Use the intuitive Codification Wizard to collaborate with colleagues to draft, edit, track changes and approve, archive and publish code amendments in real time. Then, edit and republish as needed. No more waiting for paper supplements to update everyone’s binders!
Not sure your team is ready to take on the responsibility of managing the process yourself? Let our codification services experts consult or do it for you, ensuring accuracy, timeliness and accountability.
It’s totally scalable and completely within your control.
Replace the outdated and time-consuming practice of manual supplementation with digital supplements organized and maintained in the cloud. Still need a paper copy? No problem – the code and its supplements are easy to export and print.
Concerned about regulatory compliance, inconsistent formatting, grammatical errors and quality control?
Our zoning and code management experts include experienced planners, zoning administrators, ordinance writers, and former municipal and county employees. You can trust them to dot the “I”s and cross the “T”s.
Sometimes ordinances date back decades, even predating the code. These ordinances may be in paper or digital format and in various stages of integrity.
A digital archive of all ordinances can be established, giving you easy access for research and retrieval.
We can codify these ordinances to build an electronic history dating back to the original version of your code.
We’ve performed historical archiving and codification dating back to the early 1970s!
We all know how important transparency is.
Now, any user with access to the internet can pull up accurate, complete code text with a single click. They can find current code, subsequent versions, links to related documents, pop-up definitions, resource libraries and more.
All the critical information a user might need, at their fingertips.
Zoning ordinances are an appendix to or independent of a code of ordinances for a reason.
The numbering sequence or structural hierarchy may conflict, its format and organization may not fit the rigid code styling (or lack thereof), complex tables and graphics may not be easily accommodated, or the Planning Department prefers its independence.
enCodePlus is a game-changer.
Now, it’s easy to seamlessly integrate the code with the zoning regulations, streamline amendment processes, manage versions and archives, and integrate resource libraries and research tools.
It’s a win-win scenario!
