County Governments

County governments are local administrative bodies responsible for managing a specific area within a state, often encompassing cities and rural communities. They oversee services such as public safety (police and fire), education, transportation, health, and infrastructure maintenance. County governments are typically led by elected officials, including a county commissioner or board of supervisors. They collect taxes, create budgets, and implement policies to address local needs. By doing so, counties play a crucial role in delivering essential services and ensuring the well-being of their residents within the larger framework of the state and federal government.
