WCAG & Section 508 Compliance for North Dakota
North Dakota already publishes accessibility expectations on its state portals that point to WCAG and Section 508 — not just for web pages, but for the content they publish. With the DOJ's ADA Title II web rule, most ND state and local entities serving 50,000+ people will need their public-facing PDFs to meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 24, 2026. CASO Comply lets them fix those in minutes instead of doing them one by one.
What North Dakota Already Requires
North Dakota is already telling agencies and schools to meet WCAG and Section 508 — including for documents and PDFs. CASO Comply lets them do it at scale.
ND.gov Accessibility Policy
The state site complies with all priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the W3C WCAG and is Section 508 approved — the statewide tone-setter for accessible digital content.
North Dakota OMB Accessibility Standards
OMB is working toward WCAG 2.2 AA and actively scanning with accessibility-checking software, demonstrating that the state tests and monitors compliance.
NDIT Accessibility Monitoring
The state uses tooling to monitor accessibility on the statewide platform, with documents and content in scope — not just HTML pages.
Agency Accessibility Statements (SOS, DOT, Legislature)
Multiple ND agencies publish accessibility statements committing to WCAG and Section 508, showing that buyers already expect vendors to support accessible documents.
UND Digital Accessibility Guidance
The University of North Dakota states it directly: accessibility is essential in every PDF — not just for web pages, but for every document published online.
The Federal Clock North Dakota Is Following
The DOJ's ADA Title II rule says “web content” includes documents posted on the site. Public-facing PDFs that are still in use are in scope — old or archived PDFs can be excepted.
Deadline Passed
April 24, 2026
ND agencies and cities serving populations of 50,000 or more
This deadline has passed. Non-compliant entities are now subject to enforcement.
Approaching
April 26, 2027
Smaller ND jurisdictions and special districts serving populations under 50,000
Approximately 13 months remain to achieve full compliance.
Why North Dakota Entities Choose CASO Comply
Clear the PDF Backlog Fast
ND agencies, cities, and school districts already have years of council minutes, board agendas, reports, program descriptions, and parent materials posted as PDFs. Manually remediating those is slow and expensive. CASO Comply automates it so you can bring older, still-used PDFs into compliance without adding staff.
Stay Compliant on Every New Upload
Even if you clean up the old stuff, next week someone will post another PDF on nd.gov, the school site, or the city portal. CASO Comply gives you a repeatable way to make new public-facing documents accessible right when you publish, so you don't drift out of compliance again.
No Accessibility Expertise Required
Most ND entities don't have an in-house WCAG or PDF/UA person. CASO Comply bakes that in — it applies the right tags, reading order, and structure — so IT, Communications, or the business office can meet the 2026 and 2027 federal dates without hiring specialists.
