Our Commitment to Accessibility
The Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller is committed to ensuring the accessibility of its website for people with disabilities. We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of the website and, in doing so, adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
To further our commitment to nondiscrimination, we continuously update the website to ensure the site conforms to World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA. Such guidelines detail best practices for ensuring users of assistive-technology can access the site. The guidelines also make the site more user-friendly for all people, including those who use text-based browsers, low-end processors, slow modem connections, or who have state-of-the-art computer equipment.
Due to integration with external vendors, areas within the site remain beyond the Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller's control. Until the integration with these external vendors is resolved, the Pasco County Clerk & Comptroller can achieve only a partial, though continuously expanding, level of conformance according to WCAG.
