Municipal Code, made legible.
A deterministic legal data layer that makes municipal code structurally clear, internally coherent, and ready for responsible AI use.
the problem
Municipal codes are trapped in PDFs, outdated HTML, and fragmented updates. Legicity fixes the core issue: legal text wasn’t built for long-term digital stewardship.
Modern municipal code platforms increasingly rely on JavaScript-rendered interfaces optimized for human browsing. While effective for display, these systems often obscure legal structure, fragment references, and prevent reliable machine interpretation.
Slow, inconsistent lookup workflows
Weak or surface-level search tools
Ordinances drift out of sync
No durable, machine-readable legal structure
No shared schema across cities
JavaScript-rendered code sites hide structural relationships required for reliable automation and AI use
the solution
structured code parser
Converts PDFs and legacy HTML into a canonical, machine-readable legal structure that preserves legal hierarchy, references, and intent.
code publication (generated)
Generates a clean, navigable public code directly from structured data—eliminating broken tables of contents, manual updates, and parallel versions.
AI-READY LEGAL INTERPRETATION
Enables citation-backed AI tools only after code has been normalized and structurally validated—preventing hallucination, guesswork, and partial answers.
Each layer builds on the one before it. Structure comes first.
What cities gain
Resolve code questions with clear, citation-ready structure
Structural clarity across zoning and development review
Machine-readable legal data cities can trust
A framework for consistent ordinance updates over time
A true civic data infrastructure layer for municipal law
“Legicity turns municipal code from static documents into structurally operational legal data.”
who is this for?
city staff
Clearer code structure, more consistent interpretation, and reduced administrative friction.
developers & planners
Clear, consistent zoning and development standards grounded in a single authoritative code structure.
residents
More transparent, understandable local law published from a single authoritative source.
