The on-line Code has been prepared by Municipal Code Corporation which also maintains our hardcopy version. The following instructions on how to use the on-line Code should help you find what you need. You may want to print these out to keep handy if you're new to using the on-line Code.

INSTRUCTIONS

If you wish, you can begin by visiting Municipal Code Corporation's home page at http://www.municode.com.

From there, click the Resources tab at the top of the page to reach the On-Line Library. The publications are accessed by State. Henrico, of course, is under Virginia.

You can also go directly to Henrico's Code by clicking this link.

There are two methods of finding information:

Browsing: The Code's table of contents can be viewed in the left hand window. Click on the yellow folder (expand) symbol next to each heading to see greater levels of detail in a desired Chapter or Article. Ultimately you will reach the Section level. The text of the document appears in the adjacent (document) window.
Recently adopted ordinances: Since the Code is supplemented only once a year, the on-line version isn't always current. To access recently adopted ordinances, scroll to the bottom of the table of contents window on the left side of the screen. At the bottom, you will see "Ordinances Enacted / Not Yet Codified." Click on that link and list of those ordinances will be displayed in the adjacent (document) window.
Searching: Type in the key word(s) of your search in the search window, then click on the [Search] button. A search will be performed and the number of 'hits' found will be displayed. You can expand the search hits and read their Code contents by clicking on them.

For more detail on searching, click on the 'Help' tab at the top of the page.
