Is Greeley's Website Ready for the ADA Title II Deadline?
Did you know the deadline already changed?
If your compliance calendar still shows the original date, it's out of date: on April 20, 2026 the DOJ issued an Interim Final Rule that moved every ADA Title II web deadline back one year. For Greeley, the operative date is now April 26, 2027. The public comment period closed June 22, 2026 — the deadline is set, and the clock is running.

What WCAG 2.1 Level AA means for city government websites
Because Greeley serves 114,363 residents — above the DOJ's 50,000-person threshold — it falls in the first enforcement wave, with the earlier of the two federal deadlines.
The rule points to WCAG 2.1 Level AA — a widely used technical checklist. Stripped of jargon, it asks simple questions: can a blind resident using a screen reader pay a bill on your site? Can someone who can't use a mouse complete a form with just a keyboard? Is the text readable against its background?
For first-wave entities, the practical risk isn't only DOJ action — it's private lawsuits and demand letters that cite the federal standard the moment the deadline passes.
Greeley is a major population center, and its website is the front door for recreation registration, utility billing, and building permits. Under ADA Title II, that front door has to work for every resident.
