Guidelines
This website works to comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0. Features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities include:
- Images on the website contain "alt tags" to help users with screen readers listen to the content.
- A "skip to" link allows these users to bypass the header and go directly to the main content each time a page is accessed.
To improve the accessibility of our website, Lee County Government reviews the site's accessibility with outside web tools and periodically will ask users with disabilities to review the site. Adjustments are then made as necessary.
If you have a disability and the format of any material on our website interferes with your ability to access some information contained on our site, please email Samantha Westen at
SWesten@leegov.com. She will refer your request to the appropriate Department to provide you with an alternate form of the requested material, as available.
Please indicate the nature of the accessibility problem, your preferred format, the web address of the requested material and your full contact information so we can reach you if questions arise while fulfilling your request.
