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

I am working class and couldn t afford mental health services for counseling on my own. I called county social services but unless I was a police code 5150, there didn t seem to be any social services counseling. Instead the primary chunk of social services seemed geared only towards mothers with children, children themselves, the chronically homeless, addicts, or the elderly.

Usually there are some public mental health programs. For some, you have to be on public assistance. It depends a lot on where you are. I think you are in CA because you reference a CA police code. Look for the number for mental health services in your county. If they say you don't qualify, ask for referrals to other low cost providers- they should have phone numbers. Consider looking outside of public services, too. Often, clinics associated with universities will offer discounted/sliding scale services. Some non-profits also offer sliding scale fees.

Q. When you purchase a car in Tennessee from a dealership they collect a business and metro/county tax in addition to state taxes and if you purchase a car from an individual and pay taxes yourself the county only collects the state tax? Is this profit to the dealership? Asked by apsu76 - Thu Oct 18 10:35:04 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. No, most likely it's a gross receipts tax levied on the dealership. Most businesses pass on gross receipts taxes to their customers although they are not specifically required to do so.
