What our crawl found on sonomaopenspace.org

Counts from our October 16, 2026 crawl, which visited 100 pages. Our crawler found 360 public documents on sonomaopenspace.org — an estimated 1,320 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 & minutes162 · 45%
  • Other128 · 36%
  • Reports57 · 16%
  • Forms9 · 3%
  • Policies4 · 1%

Meeting agendas and minutes dominate this inventory at 45% 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.

Checked sample

32 of 50 passed(64%)

  • Passed basic checks: 32
  • Did not pass: 18

Many of the checked files pass the basic checks. Passing them is not full conformance: reading order, alt text quality and table structure still need a person or a deeper check.

The rate covers the 50 files we checked, not all 360 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.

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.

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 16, 2026: we fetched 100 pages from https://www.sonomaopenspace.org/ and found 361 documents.
  • The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
  • Changelog: October 16, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Plan the work before April 26, 2028

562 days is enough time to work through a backlog in stages, if the inventory starts now.

Estimated cost with DocoMatic

$506 – $760

≈ 2,532 credits for 1,320 estimated pages

  • 33 form pages at Level 3 (field labeling and tab order)
  • 51 scanned pages (OCR plus Level 2 tagging)
  • 1,236 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 Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District's ADA Title II deadline?

April 26, 2028. Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space 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 Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District's deadline set?

Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space 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 Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District have?

Our crawl on October 16, 2026 fetched 100 pages from https://www.sonomaopenspace.org/ and found at least 360 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 1,320 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.

How many of Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District's documents pass accessibility checks?

32 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (64%). That is a sample of the 360 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

How much would it cost to fix Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District's documents?

Our directional estimate is $506 to $760 with DocoMatic: about 2,532 credits for 1,320 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.

Which documents should Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District fix first?

Start with rate schedules, service applications and board packets: the documents your customers and board rely on.

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.
