Document accessibility assessment
Campbell, New York (town) — sample assessment
campbellny.gov · Assessed October 15, 2026 · ADA Title II / WCAG 2.1 Level AA
Your compliance date: April 26, 2028
Under the ADA Title II web accessibility rule (28 CFR Part 35), this is the date by which Campbell, New York (town) — sample assessment's web content — including public PDFs — must conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, based on the entity's verified 2020 Census population.
What we found
| Documents inventoried (after de-duplication) | 199 |
| Documents with one or more automated accessibility indicators | 199 |
| Total pages across all documents | 628 |
Remediation scope: what the rule appears to require
The rule's pre-existing content exception spares documents published before your compliance date — unless they are used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in your services, programs, or activities. Sorting your documents against that test is the difference between a large project and a manageable one.
| Scope | Documents | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Priority — appears required | 1 | Evidence indicates current use to apply for, access, or participate in a service, so the preexisting-document exception would not apply. |
| Review recommended | 198 | Current-use or exception status could not be established automatically. These need a human decision — most are quick calls. |
| Likely preexisting-document exception | 0 | Records of past activity published before your compliance date, with externally corroborated dates. Have whoever handles your compliance confirm before setting them aside. |
| No major issue detected | 0 | No automated indicator was found. Automated checks are not a guarantee of accessibility. |
Technical condition: what the indicators are
A separate question from scope: what is actually wrong with the files. A scanned document also belongs to one of the scope rows above — these columns overlap on purpose.
| Indicator | Documents |
|---|---|
| Scanned image — no machine-readable text layer | 6 |
| Missing accessibility tag structure | 175 |
| No declared document language | 176 |
| No document title | 199 |
| Form fields without accessible labels | 0 |
| Images without descriptions | 132 |
6 of your documents are scans with no text layer
These files contain no machine-readable text. Without text recognition or an accessible alternative, their content is not available to screen-reader software as text. Fixing them takes an extra step: recognition has to run and be verified before accessibility tagging can begin, which is why they are priced at $5.00/page rather than $2.00 (50 pages).
Planning estimate
| Scope | Pages | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Priority documents only | 1 | $2 |
| All documents with identified accessibility indicators | 628 | $1,406 |
At $2.00 per page, and $5.00 per page for the 50 scanned pages that need text recognition first. Both figures include an independent validation report for each remediated document.
This is a planning estimate, not a proposal
199 of your documents are classified automatically and await human scope review. The realistic budget usually lands far closer to the lower figure once the review pile is confirmed — that review is the first thing we do together, before any fixed quote.
The complete inventory
The full document-by-document inventory — 199 records with the exact URL, observed date, indicators found, scope classification, supporting evidence, confidence and verification status of each — accompanies this report as a CSV appendix (campbellny.gov-inventario.csv), ready to sort and filter.
What we'd do next, in order
- Joint scope review. A short working session to confirm the "review recommended" pile — most entries are quick calls, and this is what turns the estimate range into a real number.
- The forms first. Forms in current use stop residents from getting a service, and the exception does not cover them.
- Then the remaining priority documents — instructions, fee schedules, current rules.
- Set up monitoring. Documents published after your compliance date are not eligible for the preexisting-document exception, so new uploads need the same care.
Next step
Reply to the email this report arrived with and we'll schedule the joint scope review — 30 minutes, no commitment. A fixed remediation proposal comes only after that review, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
About this assessment
Prepared October 15, 2026 from the documents publicly linked on campbellny.gov. Each file was checked for tag structure, headings, image descriptions, declared language, document title, form field labels, and scanned pages with no machine-readable text.
This is a diagnostic, not a legal certification. Automated checks catch what a machine can see; they cannot judge whether a reading order makes sense or whether a description is accurate. Scope categories reflect our reading of the pre-existing content exception — a technical triage to focus the work, not a legal determination, which is for your attorney or compliance officer to make.
