Website Accessibility Statement

Website Accessibility

Pottawattamie County is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all residents, visitors, and members of the public, including individuals with disabilities. We strive to provide a website that is accessible, inclusive, and usable for everyone, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, and relevant Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

Our Commitment

We are actively working to improve the user experience of our website and ensure that it functions well with assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, voice recognition software, and switch technology.

We aim to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 AA standards across all digital content and platforms maintained by the county ahead of the April 24, 2026 deadline set out by the Department of Justice’s final rule regarding regulations for Title II of the ADA. 

Accessibility Features

The Pottawattamie County website includes features designed to improve accessibility, such as:

  • Text alternatives for non-text content
  • Logical heading structure and navigable page layout
  • Keyboard navigability and clear focus indicators
  • High color contrast and readable font choices
  • Compatibility with common assistive technologies

Need Help or Encounter an Issue?

If you use assistive technology (such as a Braille reader or a screen reader) and the format of any content on this website interferes with your ability to access information, we want to know. We welcome your feedback and are committed to addressing concerns promptly.
