What is the ADA Title II compliance deadline?

Under the new DOJ rule, smaller municipalities and public agencies must comply by April 26, 2027. Larger entities (50,000+ residents) have an earlier deadline of April 2026.

Can we just use an accessibility widget or overlay?

No. The DOJ and the disability community have been clear: overlays are not a substitute for accessible core code and often create additional barriers.

What standard do we need to meet?

The requirement is WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance for all web content and mobile applications.

Does this include PDFs and documents?

Yes. Any document provided to the public via your website or app must also meet the accessibility standards.

THE OVERLAY TRAP

Most agencies are still betting on overlays and getting sued for it

The DOJ has ruled that accessibility is no longer a suggestion. It is a requirement for state and local government. Most 'accessibility overlays' fail to meet these federal standards, leaving your municipality vulnerable to litigation.

Why compliance

New DOJ rule requires all web content and mobile apps to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

Federal mandates (DOJ Title II) require most smaller agencies to comply by April 2027.

Automated scanners only catch 30-40% of real-world barriers like keyboard traps.

Digital accessibility is now a matter of federal civil rights law for all public entities.
