ROCKDALE COUNTY, GA– Rockdale County’s Code Enforcement Division has been honored by the National Association of Counties (NACo) for its creation of a groundbreaking digital automation tool.
The new tool, which was built in-house using Microsoft Power Automate, eliminates manual processes and slashes the time needed to generate Notices of Violation from 10 minutes to 7.32 seconds. Equally important, the tool t has enhanced accuracy, improved workflows, and enabled staff to focus on higher-value services for residents.
Rockdale County Board of Commissioners Chair JaNice Van Ness applauded the Code Enforcement Division for its 2025 NACo Achievement Award.
“The team at Code Enforcement has been hard at work this year, and it has been refreshing to witness such a high level of dedication and ingenuity from the Department. This award is a testament to the outstanding resourcefulness of Catherine Gray, our Code Enforcement Analyst, whose leadership in streamlining administrative processes exemplifies the caliber of talent we have in Rockdale County,” said VanNess.
Each year, NACo’s Achievement Awards recognize outstanding programming in 18 categories aligned with the vast, comprehensive services counties provide. The categories include children and youth, criminal justice and public safety, libraries, management, information technology, health, civic engagement and more.
Launched in 1970, the awards honor innovative, effective county government programs that strengthen services for residents.
“The Achievement Awards shine a spotlight on the hard work and innovation happening in county governments across the nation,” said NACo President James Gore. “This year’s winners highlight the dedication and creativity of county leaders and our teams to building thriving communities and providing the best possible services to our residents.”
