Accessibility Information

Many documents available through this application are submitted through third parties or have legal/historical significance. Documents here are presented in their original fashion and therefore, may not fully comply with accessibility standards.

Alternate accessible versions of documents can be made available, per request, to the County Clerk by emailing countyclerkada@dutchessny.gov.

Examples of requests that can be fulfilled include:

• Providing a complete transcript of a specified document's text. A transcript of a document will not be accepted as a copy/certified copy of a document, and should only be used for an individual's comprehension of a document.
• Making the document more compatible with screen-readers.
• Providing a version of a document with higher color contrast. This option may not be possible for some historic documents.

While the County Clerk will attempt to meet individuals' accessibility needs, some requests may not be possible. For example:

• Asking to remove the watermark from an "Unpaid/Unofficial" document.
• Making scanned images more visually clear.
• And more.
