DOJ ADA TITLE II • WCAG 2.1 AA
A Website Platform Built to Support Accessibility
The DOJ requires small local governments to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards by April 26, 2028. Munibit's platform is built to support those requirements from day one, so every page, every form, and every document is supported.
Federal ADA Title II deadline for local governments under 50,000: April 26, 2028.
THE DOJ RULE
What the DOJ's ADA Title II Rule Requires from Your Municipality.
The Department of Justice has finalized a rule under ADA Title II requiring local governments to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA web accessibility standards. For governments under 50,000 population, the deadline is April 26, 2028.
Required Standard: WCAG 2.1 Level AA
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the benchmark the DOJ requires. It covers how pages are structured, how forms work, how documents are displayed, and whether assistive technology like screen readers can navigate your site.
Deadline: April 26, 2028
Local governments with a population under 50,000 must meet the standard by April 26, 2028. There is no extension on record. The time to plan is now, not the week before the deadline.
It Is More Than Just Web Pages
The rule covers your full online presence, including online forms residents fill out, PDFs in your document library, and meeting minutes. A partially accessible site still carries risk.
Small Teams Are Not Exempt
The rule applies to cities, towns, townships, villages, boroughs, counties, and special districts, regardless of staff size or technical resources.
Note: Munibit builds its platform to support ADA Title II accessibility requirements. As with any compliance matter, municipalities should review their specific obligations with their legal counsel.
