Accessibility Statement

The Hardee County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller is committed to making the Clerk’s web site accessible to all our users. Our websites are currently under review and redesign, if necessary, to make sure that they meet or exceed the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Many of our web pages currently meet the Section 508 accessibility standards, as well as the W3C’s

Many of our web pages currently meet the Section 508 accessibility standards, as well as the W3C’s Web Content accessibility Guidelines Priority 1 requirements. Furthermore, the Clerk of Courts continues to work on making all web pages accessible to its users. The WAVE (Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool) is another tool to verify the accessibility of a web site or web page. If you need more information on web accessibility, please visit WebAIM (Web Accessibility in Mind) for more information.

Thank you for your patience through this redesign process. If you have any comments or suggestions for improvement, or have problems viewing or reading anything on this website, please contact the webmaster at dfaulkner@hardeeclerk.com or Call 863-773-4174 extension 7226.

Adobe Acrobat PDF Files

Many of the documents on the Clerk of Courts website are in HTML format. These are generally accessible to people who use screen readers. We also have a large number of documents in PDF Format.

PDF format is used to preserve the content and layout of our hard copy publications. Publications in PDF can only be viewed and printed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4.0 or higher. You can download and get help using the Acrobat Reader at the Adobe Systems, Inc. site. The downloadable Acrobat Reader software is available at NO CHARGE from Adobe.

People using screen-reading devices generally are unable to read documents directly in PDF format, unless they have an accessibility plug-in installed on their system along with the Adobe Acrobat Reader. This plug-in is available at NO CHARGE from Adobe. Adobe also has online tools that will convert PDF files to HTML on request. To get the plug-in and latest news about Adobe’s accessibility tools and services, visit the Adobe Help site.

Microsoft

Microsoft offers FREE viewers for all of their Office applications. Please visit the Microsoft Apps Store and install the viewer app that you require.

Style Sheets

Most of our web pages use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for page layout and text formatting. By using relative and adjustable font sizes, users are able to set the text size to better suit their needs. This feature is not currently available on all Clerk of Courts and division pages, but we are working to update existing pages. All new pages will have this feature.
