Solutions for North Carolina
North Carolina Accessibility Standard + ADA Title II Compliance
North Carolina's NCDIT Digital Accessibility and Usability Standard requires WCAG 2.1 AA for all state agency digital content, and the federal ADA Title II rule extends that requirement to every county and municipality. Public-facing PDFs are in scope — and CASO Comply remediates them at scale instead of one at a time.
What North Carolina Already Requires
North Carolina has a comprehensive statewide accessibility standard managed by NCDIT, with active support programs for agencies working toward compliance.
NC Digital Accessibility and Usability Standard
Published by NCDIT in April 2024 (updated January 2025), this statewide standard requires all state agencies to design and deliver websites and digital services that meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, including published documents and PDFs.
N.C.G.S. 143B Article 15 — State CIO Authority
Gives the State Chief Information Officer authority to develop and publish information technology policies and procedures for all state agencies, including digital accessibility requirements enforced through NCDIT.
NCDIT Section 508 Compliance Standards
North Carolina incorporates federally mandated Section 508 compliance standards alongside WCAG best practices, requiring both automated and manual accessibility testing before deployment of digital services.
NCDIT Digital Accessibility Support Program
NCDIT offers dedicated accessibility support services to help state agencies identify and resolve issues related to WCAG, Section 508, and ADA standards — including document accessibility assessments.
The Federal Clock North Carolina Is On
The DOJ's ADA Title II web rule defines “web content” to include documents posted on public websites — which puts PDFs squarely in scope for North Carolina agencies, counties, and municipalities.

Why North Carolina Entities Choose CASO Comply
NCDIT's Standard Is Active and Enforced
North Carolina's Digital Accessibility and Usability Standard isn't a guideline sitting on a shelf — NCDIT actively supports agencies in meeting it and has updated it as recently as January 2025. With the federal ADA Title II deadline reinforcing the same WCAG 2.1 AA requirement, compliance is non-optional. CASO Comply ensures your documents pass both state and federal standards.
100 Counties, Thousands of PDFs
North Carolina has 100 counties and hundreds of municipalities, each publishing forms, meeting minutes, budgets, and public notices online. From Wake County to rural western NC, CASO Comply processes thousands of documents per day so entities of any size can clear their backlog efficiently.
No Accessibility Expertise Required
Most North Carolina departments, counties, and school systems don't have WCAG or PDF/UA specialists on staff. CASO Comply bakes that expertise in — applying the right structure tags, alt text, and reading order fixes automatically — so IT or records staff can meet deadlines without hiring consultants.
