Kaliforniens countyn
I den amerikanska delstaten Kalifornien finns 58 countyn.
Typer av countyn
Kaliforniens delstatskonstitution föreskiver särskilda roller för ett county och det finns två varanter: general law county och charter county. Skillnaden är att ett charter county har antagit stadgar (engelska: charter), som godkänts av delstaten, och som ger en större grad av självstyre, men ingen utökad beskattningsrätt. Stadgarna kan dock återkallas av delstaten.
Folkvalda befattningshavare i varje county
I samtliga kaliforniska countyn finns tre folkvalda befattningshavare: assessor, distriktsåklagare samt sheriff. För varje county i delstaten Kalifornien finns en Superior Court som första rättsinstans i brott- och civilmål.
