What our crawl found on slocounty.ca.gov
Counts from our September 24, 2026 crawl, which visited 1,000 pages. Our crawler found 1,296 public documents on slocounty.ca.gov — an estimated 35,804 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
The crawl stopped at its page limit, so every count here is a minimum: the site has at least this many documents.
Documents by category

- Reports14 · 1%
- Policies5 · <1%
This is a forms-heavy inventory: 71% of documents are forms. Forms are the most demanding class to remediate, because every field needs a programmatic label and a logical tab order before a screen-reader user can complete it.

Checked sample
16 of 50 passed(32%)
- Passed basic checks: 16
- Did not pass: 34
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 1,296 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
4% 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.
This inventory is heavy on forms (71%). Forms take the most work to fix, since every field needs a label and a logical tab order, so they drive the cost estimate below.

Show all 44 filesShow fewer
6 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.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 24, 2026: we fetched 1,000 pages from https://www.slocounty.ca.gov/ and found 1,296 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: September 24, 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 San Luis Obispo 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 282,424 people means many departments publish documents; a central inventory with department owners keeps the work moving.
Usually owned by the county clerk, the elections office and department heads.

Frequently asked questions
When is San Luis Obispo County's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2027. San Luis Obispo 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 San Luis Obispo County's deadline set?
San Luis Obispo County's total population is 282,424 (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 San Luis Obispo County have?
Our crawl on September 24, 2026 fetched 1,000 pages from https://www.slocounty.ca.gov/ and found at least 1,296 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 35,804 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of San Luis Obispo County's documents pass accessibility checks?
16 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (32%). That is a sample of the 1,296 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix San Luis Obispo County's documents?
Our directional estimate is $155,790 to $233,685 with DocoMatic: about 778,949 credits for 35,804 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should San Luis Obispo 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.
