Simplify how you serve your community

Keep your community up to date and informed

Keep everyone in your community connected and engaged with relevant code information including newly adopted laws, public documents and archived content. As your community grows and introduces and updates legislation, we can easily update your eCode so you can be confident you’re always working with the most up-to-date code information.

Conduct deeper, more targeted code searches

Advanced search filters help users find more relevant information in less time. Search by keywords, phrases, chapter types — and more.

Multiple sharing options in eCode360 provide quick responses to code questions, saving municipalities and constituents time and boosting transparency. Users can link directly to specific code sections and chapters in emails or social media.

ecode360 api

Stay connected to your online code through your own applications

General Code’s eCode360 API allows our partner communities to seamlessly integrate content from our proprietary eCode360 online code portal into their own systems and platforms – including those from 3rd party providers and developers or other vendors. By leveraging code as data, the eCode360 API provides a reliable live connection to information housed on eCode360 via the applications local governments already use. It also eliminates the need to import code information manually, which can save municipalities valuable time and resources. The eCode360 API can be an important tool for keeping citizens connected and municipalities running efficiently, all without time-consuming or potentially costly system upgrades or reconfigurations.
