Notification Alerts

Use the free My Account feature to follow codes and be alerted when updates are made. Receive emails automatically when codes you follow are updated. Notification alerts can be tailored to the material you follow, from an entire code, to just a specific section of the code. Toggle the Bell icon on or off to follow a code.

Annotations

This feature is only available to users with a free My Account. Users who are logged in to their account can toggle on/off the annotation feature. A small note icon appears next to each code paragraph or title when toggled on. Textual notes can be saved in the pop-up note, or add multiple notes per location if needed.

Bookmarks

Frequently need to reference a municipal code provision? Set a bookmark to the Title, Chapter, or Section of a code and use your free My Account for quick reference, or copy the URL and save it in your browser’s favorites list.

Saved Searches

Saved searches allow you to conduct a search and save the preset requirements as a managed search. If your search is specific to a code or even a section of a code, or if it involves a specific phrase, rather than re-run the search each time, set it up once and then use your free My Account for a list of saved searches, or use the drop-down menu under the Advanced Filters to access a saved search.

"That was a wonderful training, thank you. Without the training the program could be likened to Google Maps, and after the training, it is like using Google Earth! "
