Every US state and local government .gov website, with its ADA accessibility deadline
Under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, every state agency, county, city and special district must make its website and mobile apps accessible to people with disabilities. We keep a list of all of their .gov websites with the deadline each one faces, so companies that sell accessibility work can see who is due first.
The two deadlines
| Who | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Governments of 50,000 people or more | |
| Smaller governments, and every special district whatever its size |
The Department of Justice set these deadlines in its update of 20 April 2026 (91 FR 20902), which moved both back. Read it in the official government copy on govinfo.gov.
The list in numbers
On the list held 15,227 state and local government .gov websites: 3,749 of governments due by 26 April 2027, 10,711 due by 26 April 2028, and 767 where we cannot yet tell which, because no single census population matched the government's name. Those are marked as uncertain and show both dates.

Some governments run more than one .gov website (a county and its sheriff's office, for example), so these count websites, not governments. Federal, tribal and interstate websites are left out.
Where the list comes from
- The websites. The official list of every registered .gov website, which the .gov registrar (CISA) publishes free for anyone to reuse (cisagov/dotgov-data). It says what kind of government owns each one (state, county, city, special district, school district) and in which state.
- The populations. The 2020 census, read through the Census Bureau's data service. A government gets a population only when exactly one census record of the right kind and name matches it in its state; a county office takes its county's figure. If the name is ambiguous we leave it blank rather than guess. Special districts need none: the rule gives every one of them the 2028 deadline.
- The rule. Every row quotes the sentence of the rule its deadline comes from and links to it. We check the sentence against the live page regularly; if a source stops supporting a row, the row is withdrawn with the reason, not quietly deleted.
This product uses the Census Bureau Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the Census Bureau.
What the list does not decide
Whether a particular website's owner counts as a "public entity" under the ADA (28 CFR 35.104), and whether the registrar's "special district" label matches the rule's meaning. Those are for you to judge. The list is not legal advice.
A free sample
25 California governments (spreadsheet file, CSV, 9 KB), drawn on 12 October 2026: the State of California, 7 counties, 12 cities and 5 special districts. 16 are due by April 2027 and 9 by April 2028. Each row has the population, the deadline, and the sentence of the rule with its link. The days-left column counts from 12 October 2026.
The full list
The full list, every website with its kind of government, state, population, deadline and source, updated weekly, is available to companies that sell to state and local governments. Write to opentell@surveyrock.com and name the states you sell in.
How we work
Everything in the list is about organisations, never people. Every fact links to the public page it came from, with the date we read it. We collect no names, job titles, email addresses or phone numbers, and nothing in the list comes from LinkedIn. Our crawler, OpenTellBot, says who it is, follows each site's rules for crawlers, and never visits again a site that asks it to stop.
