What our crawl found on highlandsrec.ca.gov

Counts from our October 13, 2026 crawl, which visited 132 pages. Our crawler found 242 public documents on highlandsrec.ca.gov — an estimated 1,659 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.

Documents by category

  • Agendas & minutes194 · 80%
  • Other39 · 16%
  • Policies5 · 2%
  • Reports4 · 2%

Meeting agendas and minutes dominate this inventory at 80% of all documents. Packets published from the compliance date on have to be accessible, as do older ones residents still use to take part in a meeting or a process; older packets kept only for reference may fall under the rule's exceptions.

By file format

Checked sample

1 of 47 passed(2%)

  • Passed basic checks: 1
  • Did not pass: 46

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 47 files we checked, not all 242 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.

Scanned share

17% 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 crawl found no forms.

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 October 13, 2026: we fetched 132 pages from https://highlandsrec.ca.gov/ and found 242 documents.
  • The pass rate comes from machine checks on 47 of those documents, not from checking every file.
  • Changelog: October 13, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

  • 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 Highlands Recreation Community Services District's ADA Title II deadline?

April 26, 2028. Highlands Recreation Community Services District is in the 2028 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 Highlands Recreation Community Services District's deadline set?

Highlands Recreation Community Services District is a special district government, and the Census Bureau calculates no population for one. The rule gives every special district government the later date, whatever the size of the area it serves.

How many public documents does Highlands Recreation Community Services District have?

Our crawl on October 13, 2026 fetched 132 pages from https://highlandsrec.ca.gov/ and found at least 242 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 1,659 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.

How many of Highlands Recreation Community Services District's documents pass accessibility checks?

1 of the 47 files we checked passed basic machine checks (2%). That is a sample of the 242 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

How much would it cost to fix Highlands Recreation Community Services District's documents?

Our directional estimate is $614 to $921 with DocoMatic: about 3,069 credits for 1,659 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.

Which documents should Highlands Recreation Community Services District fix first?

Start with program guides, registration forms and facility rental applications.

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.
