Special districts & MUDs · transparency + ADA Title II
Your district has to be online, transparent, and accessible.
Texas tax-levying special districts must post contact info, tax rates, and meeting schedules online — with annual reporting and a $1,000 penalty for missing it. And ADA Title II now requires government sites to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. We build the compliant, accessible site.
Get your district compliantTwo deadlines, one website
Special districts face both a transparency-posting duty and a coming accessibility deadline — one well-built site handles both.
$1,000 penalty
Covered districts must report financial and tax-rate info to the state each year. After notice, an uncured failure can bring a $1,000 civil penalty — and it signals bigger transparency gaps.
Required online postings
Covered Texas special districts must post contact info, governing-body and tax-assessor details, tax rates, meeting schedule/location, notices, minutes, and their latest audit (Gov't Code §2051.202).
ADA Title II accessibility
Government sites — special districts included — must meet WCAG 2.1 AA. The special-district deadline is April 2028. Most district sites aren't there yet.
What a compliant district site needs
- District and tax-assessor contact information.
- Tax rates (current and historical) and required financial reports.
- Meeting schedule, location, agendas and notices.
- WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility so every resident can use it.
