View Your OrdBank Permanent Ordinance Repository

OrdBank is a permanent ordinance repository and gateway for communicating with residents between supplements. With the OrdBank solution, newly adopted legislation will be posted online between supplements. After you complete your supplement, the ordinances will be linked in your history notes and stored in your OrdBank repository. This article will show you how to view your OrdBank permanent ordinance repository.

Important Note:

OrdBank is an add-on feature. If you are interested in having access to the OrdBank service, contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) for more information.
