Foreword

This publication represents a compilation of state laws governing county authority. The broad topic addresses the services counties provide to their residents, their responsibilities, and their duties as outlined by the state. The publication includes tables intended to facilitate cross-referencing between states to make conclusions about counties with similar authority.

The National Association of Counties published this report to serve as a reference tool for county officials interested in some of the specific laws concerned with county authority. The information found in this guide reflects the statutes as of the date of this publication.

*Connecticut and Rhode Island are omitted from this report, as neither has counties with elected governing boards.
