Commitment to Accessibility

The Leon County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including individuals with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility standards to achieve this goal.

Our website is designed to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other applicable laws, and to conform as closely as possible to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

Accessibility Standards

We strive to ensure that our website:

• Is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust
• Supports keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility
• Includes appropriate alternative text for images and non-text content
• Provides sufficient color contrast and readable typography
• Uses clear structure and semantic HTML for assistive technologies
• Ensures forms are accessible and properly labeled

Ongoing Efforts

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We:

• Regularly audit our website for accessibility compliance every quarter. Our last audit was: [audit date]
• Train staff responsible for content creation on accessibility best practices
• Evaluate third-party tools and integrations for accessibility compliance where feasible
• Work to remediate known issues in a timely manner

Third-Party Content

Some content on our website may link to or be hosted by third-party providers (such as payment systems, court records, or external services). While we strive to work with vendors who prioritize accessibility, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content.

If you experience difficulty accessing third-party services, please contact us, and we will assist you in obtaining the information or service.

Document Accessibility
