Clerks are often some of the hardest working people within local government and this week we honor them with Municipal Clerks week. The second of our three part blog series talks about how code enforcement software can help make a municipal clerks job a little easier!

Local municipal clerks are responsible for managing various administrative tasks within local governments, including code enforcement. Code enforcement ensures that properties within the municipality comply with local building codes, zoning regulations, and other standards. However, managing code enforcement manually can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. This is where code enforcement software can be incredibly beneficial for municipal clerks. In this blog post, we will explore how local municipal clerks can benefit from code enforcement software.

Efficient Management of Code Enforcement Activities

Code enforcement software provides clerks with a centralized platform to manage code enforcement activities, making it easier to track and monitor properties that require code enforcement. The software allows clerks to view all properties that require enforcement, including properties that have outstanding code violations. This feature helps clerks to identify properties that require urgent attention, and to allocate resources to those properties quickly.

Automated Code Violation Management

Code enforcement software provides clerks with an automated system for managing code violations. The software automatically generates violation notices and tracks their status until the violation has been resolved. This feature helps clerks to manage code violations more efficiently and with less manual effort.

Improved Collaboration

Code enforcement software provides clerks with improved collaboration capabilities. The software allows multiple staff members to access the same code enforcement records simultaneously, which improves communication and collaboration among team members. Additionally, the software can automatically notify staff members when code violations have been resolved, reducing the need for manual communication and increasing the efficiency of the code enforcement process.

Improved Record-Keeping

Code enforcement software provides clerks with improved record-keeping capabilities. The software automatically records all code enforcement activities, including violation notices, inspections, and resolutions. This feature helps clerks to maintain accurate records and provides an audit trail for all code enforcement activities. Additionally, the software can generate reports on code enforcement activities, which can be used to make data-driven decisions for resource allocation and service improvements.

In conclusion, code enforcement software can provide significant benefits for municipal clerks and the communities they serve. By improving the efficiency of code enforcement activities, automating code violation management, improving collaboration and record-keeping, and improving customer service, code enforcement software can help clerks better manage code enforcement and provide better service to their communities. As technology continues to advance, municipal governments must embrace these tools to better serve their citizens and communities.
