The county clerk keeps government records and supervises elections. The assessor estimates the worth of taxable property.

The treasurer supervises county funds, makes payments, and may serve as tax collector. The auditor supervises the treasurer’s work to make sure that no county money is spent without the board’s approval. In most places, parish/county governments are important. They provide water, sewer, and sanitation services, operate hospitals, police departments, and mass transit systems.
