NounSingular county Plural counties county (plural counties)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A county is a land area of local government within a country. A county may have cities and towns within its area. Originally, in continental Europe, a county (contea or contado, comté, comtat, condado, Grafschaft) was the land under the jurisdiction of a count (conte, comte, conde, Graf). Counties are called earldoms in post-Celtic Britain, Ireland and France—the term is from Old Norse jarl and was introduced by the Vikings—but there is no correlation between counties and earldoms. Rather, county, from French comté, was simply used by the Normans after 1066 to replace the native English term scir ([ʃir])—Modern English shire. In the United Kingdom, many county names derive from the name of the county town with the word "shire" added on: for example, Gloucester, in Gloucestershire; Worcester, in Worcestershire; etc. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I always thought anything over a year (a year and a day) you would go to prison. Someone told me they were doing two consecutive years in a county jail. Since county time is so much harder than prison. What's the longest consecutive sentence you know of, that has been served in a county jail. Asked by fluffy - Sat Dec 26 12:41:41 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. Jail upon conviction of a crime is for misdemeanors, sentences less than a year. If a person is sentenced on multiple charges and ordered to serve the sentences consecutively, then he may serve several years in jail. One example is on a guy convicted of multiple charges of putting up hidden cameras in a tanning salon and recording unsuspecting customers. He was sentenced to five consecutive one year sentences. As far as prison being better than jail... it's true if you like getting your butt violated.

Q. I live in Florida and am picking up a property for a purchase price of less than the assessed value. How do I get the county to re-assess my taxes so I pay based on my purchase price. Please let me know any advice. Asked by senzualsindhique - Thu Aug 14 02:11:22 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. You do not pay taxes on your purchase price, you pay taxes according to the assessed property value. Buying a distressed property below market value does not affect the assessed value. I don't know what the laws provide for in your specific jurisdiction, but many I am familiar with allow for an assessment appeal. You will fill out a form and file it with the county assessor to request an assessment appeal hearing. Check with your county assessors office for details.
