Website Accessibility Statement

Robertson County is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We are continually working to improve the accessibility and usability of this website for all visitors, including individuals with disabilities.

Accessibility Standards

Robertson County’s ongoing accessibility efforts are guided by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. These standards help support access for people who use assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, screen magnification, speech recognition software, and other accessibility tools.

Accessibility is an ongoing effort, and we regularly review our website, documents, forms, and digital content to identify issues and make improvements where needed.

Built-In Browser and Website Accessibility Tools

Many modern web browsers include built-in accessibility features that can improve the browsing experience. For the best experience, we recommend using the most current version of your preferred browser.

  • Microsoft Edge – includes Read Aloud, Immersive Reader, zoom controls, and strong support for screen readers
  • Google Chrome – supports screen readers, keyboard navigation, page zoom, and accessibility settings
  • Mozilla Firefox – includes strong accessibility support for keyboard navigation and assistive technologies
  • Apple Safari – supports VoiceOver, Reader tools, and built-in accessibility features on Apple devices

In addition to browser and operating system accessibility features, the Robertson County website provides built-in accessibility tools designed to improve usability for all visitors. These tools may include options such as high contrast mode, larger text sizing, and Dyslexia-friendly text tools to assist users with visual, reading, and cognitive accessibility needs.

Visitors may also use operating system accessibility tools such as screen magnifiers, voice control, text-to-speech features, and display adjustments to further
enhance access.

Robertson County has implemented DocAccess to provide accessible HTML transcripts for PDF documents published on our website, helping ensure that individuals who use screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, or other assistive technologies can access document content in a format aligned with WCAG 2.1 Level AA and Section 508 standards.

Robertson County reviews this website on an ongoing basis in support of accessibility improvements and continued alignment with applicable standards.
