Solutions for Municipalities

ADA Compliance for Cities, Counties & Towns

Your municipality has until April 2027 to make every public-facing document accessible. CASO Comply gives small and mid-size local governments an affordable, automated path to ADA Title II compliance — without hiring consultants or adding staff.

Your Deadline

April 26, 2027

Under the DOJ's final ADA Title II rule, state and local governments serving populations under 50,000 must bring all web content and digital documents into WCAG 2.1 AA compliance by this date. That includes every PDF on your municipal website — meeting minutes, ordinances, budgets, permits, and more.

Municipalities serving 50,000 or more already face enforcement as of April 2026. If your community is approaching that population threshold, the earlier deadline may apply.

The Unique Challenges Municipalities Face

Local governments deal with compliance constraints that larger state agencies and enterprises do not. We built CASO Comply with these realities in mind.

No Dedicated IT Accessibility Staff

Most municipalities under 50,000 people have a small IT team — sometimes just one person. Nobody on staff has accessibility expertise, and hiring a full-time specialist is not in the budget.

Decades of Legacy Documents

Years of board minutes, ordinances, permits, and public notices have accumulated on your website. Many were scanned from paper originals with no text layer, no tags, and no reading order.

Tight Municipal Budgets

Accessibility consultants charge $5 to $15 per page for manual remediation. When you have thousands of documents, that can exceed an entire department's annual budget.

Constant New Content

Every council meeting, every new permit application, every budget amendment generates more PDFs. Compliance is not a one-time project — it is ongoing.

Common Municipal Documents That Need Remediation

If it is published on your website and a resident might need to read it, it must be accessible under ADA Title II.

  • City council and board meeting minutes
  • Annual budgets and financial reports
  • Zoning ordinances and land-use maps
  • Building permits and inspection forms
  • Public hearing notices and agendas
  • Parks and recreation program guides
  • Utility billing statements and rate schedules
  • Emergency preparedness and evacuation plans

Budget-Friendly Compliance

Manual remediation can cost more than your entire clerk's office budget. CASO Comply brings the per-page cost down by over 90%.
