Accessibility Statement for Online Documents

Add the appropriate Accessibility Statement to all documents posted online so that it is the first text to be read aloud.

Please modify the bold text surrounded by square brackets [ ] to fit your purpose.

• The County, department name, and phone number are required elements. Be sure to include a general phone number that will be answered during business hours. Avoid using a specific person’s phone number as that person might be out of the office when someone calls for assistance.
