No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 55% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

- Did not pass: 44
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 5,585 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
8% 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 are a small part of this inventory (3%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

These are machine checks on a sample, not a compliance finding, and they say nothing about the people who publish Los Angeles County's documents. The results for the sampled files are public above.

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 23, 2026: we fetched 571 pages from https://lacounty.gov/ and found 5,585 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 Los Angeles 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.

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 Los Angeles County's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2027. Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles County's deadline set?
Los Angeles County's total population is 10,014,009 (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 Los Angeles County have?
Our crawl on September 23, 2026 fetched 571 pages from https://lacounty.gov/ and found 5,585 documents, an estimated 214,250 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of Los Angeles County's documents pass accessibility checks?
6 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (12%). That is a sample of the 5,585 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix Los Angeles County's documents?
Our directional estimate is $92,028 to $138,042 with DocoMatic: about 460,139 credits for 214,250 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should Los Angeles 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.
