Basic Model Codes: Money-Saving Partnerships
Smaller governments save time and money utilizing a Basic Code or Model Code created to address all their code needs without the expense of a customized code. We offer this service in conjunction with many state municipal leagues, including Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon, and South Dakota.
