Code books for code departments and agencies.

Building departments, fire marshals, and state and county agencies buy on purchase orders, spend against a fiscal year that does not wait, and cannot afford to stock the wrong edition. This is how we work with you.

Where departments get stuck.

The same four problems come up on almost every order we take from a code department.

The newest edition isn't always the enforced one

Your jurisdiction adopts on its own schedule. We confirm which cycle you're actually on before we quote, so the shelf you order matches the edition your inspectors cite.

Purchasing runs on a PO, not a card

Send your purchase order and we invoice against it. No one on your staff needs to put an order on a personal card and wait on reimbursement.

Tax-exempt paperwork has to be handled correctly

Send your exemption certificate with your PO or quote request and we apply it before invoicing, not after the fact.

Budgets don't roll over

Fiscal-year deadlines concentrate ordering into a narrow window. The earlier your list reaches us, the more room everyone has to get it right.

Send us your department's list.

Titles, a spreadsheet, or a bid spec — tell us your jurisdiction and how your department has to buy, and we'll price it.

  • We confirm editions against your jurisdiction before pricing.
  • Tax-exempt? Send your certificate along with your PO or list and we apply it before invoicing.
  • Already have a PO number? Include it in your message — reply to your confirmation email to attach the PO document itself.
  • Or email us directly:
