Zoning Codes and Unified Development Codes
We can work with a form-based code (often created by a third-party using Adobe Indesign or Word) or a traditional zoning code, drafted by the local planning and zoning department and passed as a zoning ordinance by a municipality.
Codifying zoning laws as a separate volume or as part of the Code of Ordinance allows for future changes to be incorporated easily without the need for reprinting the entire document.
Printing and Distribution
Our in-house printing department allows us to quickly respond to your needs for printed copies of your code and supplement pages. 3-Ring binder and loose leaf pages make it easy to insert and remove only the pages changed within an update, providing cost savings and eliminating the need to reprint entire chapters or the entire code.
We ship with both UPS and the USPS and provide tracking information so you know when your order will arrive.
Subscription and Marketing Services
We offer the general public, including law firms, libraries, engineers, inspectors, and other associated officials the ability to purchase codes in print or digital format. We can market your code to relevant parties upon request. Annual subscriptions to a code provide access to all supplemental updates published to the code.
