MuniPRO is a municipal law research tool designed for attorneys, planners, developers, municipal clerks, and other professionals. A MuniPRO subscription allows power users to search all codes and individual ordinances in the code library, create and save draft legislation, and attach saved notes to sections within any code.
This article will show you how to use the MuniPRO feature to search multiple codes simultaneously and see how local governments across the country address municipal issues. See the Advanced Search Options article for information on how to optimize your searches.
Important Note
- MuniPRO is an add-on feature. If you are interested in a MuniPRO subscription, contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to get started.
- For information on how to search one municipality's code at a time, see the Search a Code article.
