Code Enforcement Management

GeoPlan provides a full suite of applications for managing municipal operations. This page describes the Code Enforcement module.

Use GeoPlan's code enforcement module to log code violation complaints and all actions pertaining to the case, such as the initial and subsequent inspections, owner notifications, relevant code sections, violation notices and citation information. GeoPlan's document management function can be used to scan correspondence, notices, or photographs and link them to the current violation case record.

Streamline Code Enforcement Paperwork

Once the basic data is stored in your GeoPlan database, the process of generating letters or other formal notices is streamlined. Templates for your common code enforcement correspondence can be designed and stored in GeoPlan's report library. Simply enter case details into GeoPlan, and then click on the desired report name. Detailed case histories and departmental monthly summary reports can be generated just as quickly.

Efficiently Reference Relevant Code

Enter frequently-referenced sections of code into the Codes page. You can include a full and abbreviated description. The information in the Codes page is used to populate convenient drop-down menus when entering specific violation data.

Track Case Actions

The Actions page is used to track all actions on a particular code enforcement case. Action types are defined by you at GeoPlan setup, so you can capture as much detail as you require - from initial complaints and field inspections through notifications and final citations to help you maintain comprehensive case histories.

Accessible From the Property Record

Code Enforcement Cases are directly accessible from the parcel record in the Property Management module. A single click displays the code enforcement history for a specific property while viewing the parcel record. GeoPlan eliminates duplicate data entry. Data from the parcel record automatically populates associated fields in the Code Enforcement case record.
