(Omdirigerad från Kaliforniens countyn)
I den amerikanska delstaten Kalifornien finns 58 countyn.[1]
Kaliforniens delstatskonstitution föreskiver särskilda roller för ett county och det finns två varanter: general law county och charter county.[2] 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.[2] Stadgarna kan dock återkallas av delstaten.[2]
I samtliga kaliforniska countyn finns tre folkvalda befattningshavare: assessor, distriktsåklagare samt sheriff.[2]
