county governments
Local district authorities
County governments are administrative bodies that govern counties, which are geographic subdivisions of states in the United States.
They typically handle local services such as law enforcement, courts, property records, road maintenance, and public health within their jurisdictions.
The structure and powers of county governments vary significantly by state, with some having elected executives and legislatures while others operate through appointed boards or commissioners.
