Municipal Code Corporation

The company's Code Department publishes Codes of Ordinances, which requires the original codification, recodification, or republication of a local government's local legislation.[5] Staff attorneys within this department (also known as "code attorneys") have the overall responsibility of supervising each publication project. A code attorney reviews the local legislation, organizes the individual pieces of legislation into logical classifications, and then performs a legal review of that legislation, involving an analysis of the legislation compared to state statutes, court decisions, and constitutional principles. The code attorney points out any inconsistencies between the municipality's legislation and the statutes or case law, and makes recommendations to the municipal attorney regarding how to cure any defects found in the local legislation. When the new language is approved by the municipality, the code attorney releases the project to a team of indexer, editors and proofreaders. The company also has full printing and binding capabilities in-house.

The MCC Online Library contains a publicly accessible collection of more than 2700 Codes of Ordinances that the company has published for local governments in 50 states.[6] The collection of Codes of Ordinances available are integrated with a search engine, and include various research tools that make it a valuable repository of local laws. Searches may be made within an individual Code of Ordinances for free, or in multiple Codes of Ordinances, including an entire state, the entire country or individually selected content, as a premium service.

Features of the websites include online fillable forms, emergency alerts, meeting management tools, meeting and minute calendars, and a local government search engine. The company utilizes an open-source content management system (CMS), Drupal, to build their municipal websites. The website can only be accessed from the USA. However, this restriction may be easily bypassed using VPN services.

Since 1951, Municode provides website design & development, electronic payment processing, codification, and publishing services to local governments."[7]
