What our crawl found on fresnocountyca.gov

Counts from our September 23, 2026 crawl, which visited 310 pages. Our crawler found 2,487 public documents on fresnocountyca.gov — an estimated 78,744 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.

Documents by category

No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 51% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

Checked sample

13 of 50 passed(26%)

  • Passed basic checks: 13
  • Did not pass: 37

The checked files are mixed: some pass the basics and some don't. Fixing the templates you publish from now, while working through older files in batches, usually saves the most time.

The rate covers the 50 files we checked, not all 2,487 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.

Scanned share

6% 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 11% of the documents. Forms take the most work to fix, since every field needs a label and a logical tab order.

Show all 46 files

4 more checked files are 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. 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. 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. 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. 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 23, 2026: we fetched 310 pages from https://www.fresnocountyca.gov/ and found 2,487 documents.
  • The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
  • Changelog: September 23, 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 Fresno County should start

Start with high-traffic services: elections, property tax, courts and public health documents, before archived material.

Voters, property owners and court users need these files to meet their own deadlines.

Serving over a million people means documents come from many departments and systems; batch processing and monitoring keep new files from adding to the backlog.

Usually owned by the county clerk, the elections office and department heads.

Estimated cost with DocoMatic

$71,904 – $107,856

≈ 359,519 credits for 78,744 estimated pages

  • 8,960 form pages at Level 3 (field labeling and tab order)
  • 4,187 scanned pages (OCR plus Level 2 tagging)
  • 65,597 standard pages at Level 1

This is a directional estimate from crawler statistics, not a quote. Run the remediation cost calculator with your own page counts for a tailored figure.

What DocoMatic does

  • Finds the PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files on your website and estimates the backlog.
  • Fixes documents at three levels, from basic tagging to complex forms.
  • Checks every fixed file, with veraPDF PDF/UA-1 validation from Level 2 up.
  • Human review: turn it on when you request a fix, or arrange it with our team.
  • Monitors your site so new documents don't rebuild the backlog.

Frequently asked questions

When is Fresno County's ADA Title II deadline?

April 26, 2027. Fresno County 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 Fresno County's deadline set?

Fresno County's total population is 1,008,654 (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 Fresno County have?

Our crawl on September 23, 2026 fetched 310 pages from https://www.fresnocountyca.gov/ and found 2,487 documents, an estimated 78,744 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.

How many of Fresno County's documents pass accessibility checks?

13 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (26%). That is a sample of the 2,487 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

How much would it cost to fix Fresno County's documents?

Our directional estimate is $71,904 to $107,856 with DocoMatic: about 359,519 credits for 78,744 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.

Which documents should Fresno County fix first?

Start with high-traffic services: elections, property tax, courts and public health documents, before archived material.

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.
