Description
Publish and manage your municipal code directly from your WordPress website.
Northpoint Code Library Pro is municipal code management and publishing software designed for cities, towns, municipalities, special districts, and other local governments that want greater control over their Code of Ordinances.
Instead of maintaining difficult PDFs, static documents, or sending every minor code update to an outside publishing company, Northpoint Code Library gives authorized staff a structured system for maintaining municipal ordinances directly inside WordPress.
The public receives a clean, responsive and searchable code library while city staff receive tools designed specifically for organizing titles, chapters, sections, amendments, effective dates, repealed provisions, and legislative history.
Northpoint Code Library can help municipalities manage:
- Municipal Codes and Codes of Ordinances
- Titles, Chapters and Individual Code Sections
- Ordinance Numbers
- Effective Dates
- Legislative and Amendment History
- Current, Scheduled, Repealed and Superseded Code
- Code Revisions and Previous Versions
- Municipal Code Search
- Code Updates and Imports
- Printable Code Sections
- Public Online Code Libraries
The software includes intelligent numerical organization so municipal sections display in their proper code order rather than ordinary alphabetical order.
Code updates can also be previewed before being applied. Existing sections can be identified and updated without unnecessarily creating duplicate entries, helping municipal staff maintain a cleaner and more reliable code library.
Built for municipal staff—not programmers
Northpoint Code Library is designed so clerks, recorders, administrators and other authorized staff can maintain code without editing HTML or working directly with databases.
A management dashboard provides quick access to current, scheduled, repealed and superseded sections, along with recently modified municipal code.
Titles and chapters can be managed centrally, making larger organizational changes considerably easier.
A better experience for residents
Residents can browse municipal code by title and chapter or search for a specific ordinance, section number, phrase or subject.
Individual code sections receive permanent web pages that can be linked from meeting agendas, planning documents, public notices, emails and other city resources.
Because the code is published as structured web content instead of only as a PDF, it is also easier to use from phones, tablets and desktop computers.
Keep municipal code on your own website
Northpoint Code Library works directly with WordPress, allowing the municipality to maintain its code library as part of its primary website rather than sending residents to an unrelated third-party website.
This can provide municipalities with greater control over branding, navigation, accessibility, content management and public information.
Northpoint Code Library Pro
The Pro edition includes professional licensing and white-label capabilities for organizations that want the municipal code library presented entirely under their own city or organization branding.
Northpoint Code Library Pro is licensed for one website at $99 per year.
Your municipal code remains accessible even if a Pro license expires. Renewal maintains Pro licensing, white-label capabilities, updates and support.
