Case Study: City of Arvada, Colorado achieves anytime, anywhere access to its code with CivicPlus Municode Codification

City of Arvada, Colorado provides 120 years of code access with CivicPlus

The City of Arvada, Colorado, faced a challenge in providing transparent access to its code of ordinances and historical documents. Residents had to request information in person, leading to delays, while staff spent significant time manually retrieving physical documents from storage. To address this, Arvada partnered with vendor CivicPlus to implement its Municode Codification online service for hosting the municipal code.

The solution from CivicPlus involved moving the city's documents and code onto a unified digital platform available online 24/7. This provided residents and staff with anytime, anywhere access, streamlined storage, and featured a powerful unified search across all materials. As a result, CivicPlus helped Arvada eliminate long wait times for information requests and made over 120 years of documents easily accessible, significantly improving transparency and operational efficiency.
