What is ordinance codification?
Ordinance codification is the process of collecting, organizing and publishing the legislation for your municipality or county. Codification was historically a printing press industry, simply printing old words on new pages. This approach has changed drastically. Now, an effective codifier also provides assistance with content, performing routine cite checks, and eliminating conflicts within the code as well as with state or federal law. The goal of codification is to provide local governments with a body of current, enforceable laws, and to make the code easy to use and reference.
