What our crawl found on applevalley.org
Counts from our September 27, 2026 crawl, which visited 912 pages. Our crawler found 560 public documents on applevalley.org — an estimated 54,134 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
The crawl stopped at its time limit, so every count here is a minimum: the site has at least this many documents.

- Other215 · 38%

Long-form reports account for the largest share of this inventory (50%). Their length drives page counts up, but consistent templates usually make them efficient to remediate in batches.

Checked sample
9 of 50 passed(18%)
- Passed basic checks: 9
- Did not pass: 41
Most checked files are missing basics such as tags, a document title, a declared language or labeled form fields. Files made without accessibility tooling usually look like this, and they need structural work, not touch-ups.
The rate covers the 50 files we checked, not all 560 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
2% scanned
Most of the collection is digital-native text, which keeps remediation at the lighter end: tagging and structure work rather than OCR.
Scanned images need text recognition (OCR) before they can be tagged.
Forms make up 12% of the documents. Forms take the most work to fix, since every field needs a label and a logical tab order.

Show all 49 filesShow fewer
1 more checked file is counted above but not linked here: it is on another site or its name looks like a personal record.
What each check looks for
- Tagged structure
- The file has a tag tree, so assistive technology can tell headings, lists and paragraphs apart.
- Document language
- The file declares its language, so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
- Document title
- The file has a document title, shown instead of the file name.
- Image alt text
- Every image in a tagged file carries alternative text, or the file has no untagged images.
- Form field labels
- Every fillable form field has a label a screen reader can announce.
How we measured this
1.Crawl
We start at the organization's website and follow its sitemaps and links on the same site. We respect robots.txt and crawl delays, and skip login areas.
2.Classify
Each document is sorted by file format and, from its link text and file name, into a category such as forms or agendas. Page counts are estimated, often without downloading the whole file.
3.Check a sample
We open up to 50 PDFs and run basic machine checks: tags, document title, language, image alt text and form-field labels.
4.Publish only with evidence
Figures appear only when a crawl finds at least 25 documents and checks at least 20 of them.
Limits of this method
- We only see public pages we can reach through links or sitemaps. Documents behind logins or on other services may be missed.
- Crawls stop at page, document and time limits. When one is hit, the counts are minimums.
- Categories and page counts are estimates from links, file names and file metadata.
- Machine checks can't judge reading order, alt text quality or table structure. Passing them is not WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
- Figures describe the site on the crawl date, not today.
This page's evidence
- Crawled September 27, 2026: we fetched 912 pages from https://applevalley.org/ and found 560 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: September 27, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Plan the work before April 26, 2027
With 196 days left, start with the documents people use most and fix the rest in batches.
Where Town of Apple Valley should start
Start with the documents residents actually download: agendas, minutes, permit applications and utility forms.
Residents need these files to apply for permits, pay for services and follow council decisions.
At this size several departments publish documents, so name one owner per department and track progress in one place.
Usually owned by the city clerk, communications and department heads.

Frequently asked questions
When is Town of Apple Valley's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2027. Town of Apple Valley is in the 2027 cohort under the Department of Justice's rule on web and mobile accessibility for state and local governments, with compliance dates as set by the Department's interim final rule of April 20, 2026 (91 FR 20902).
How was Town of Apple Valley's deadline set?
Town of Apple Valley's total population is 75,791 (2020 Census), at or above the 50,000 threshold in 28 CFR 35.200(b), so the earlier compliance date applies.
How many public documents does Town of Apple Valley have?
Our crawl on September 27, 2026 fetched 912 pages from https://applevalley.org/ and found at least 560 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 54,134 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Town of Apple Valley's documents pass accessibility checks?
9 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (18%). That is a sample of the 560 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Town of Apple Valley's documents?
Our directional estimate is $48,225 to $72,338 with DocoMatic: about 241,126 credits for 54,134 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Town of Apple Valley fix first?
Start with the documents residents actually download: agendas, minutes, permit applications and utility forms.
Do older PDFs have to be made accessible too?
Not all of them. Documents already posted before the compliance date are excepted unless they are currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in the organization's services, programs or activities (28 CFR 35.201(b)). Genuinely archived content is excepted too, but only while it is kept solely for reference, research or recordkeeping, sits in a clearly identified archive area and is not changed. Everything published from the compliance date on is covered, and so is any older file people still use to reach a service.
