City/town government is referred to as municipal. Government for a county is very much different and often conducted in the 'county seat'. It is kind of difficult to put into words, but the city is structured different than a county, which in turn is structured different than state government . . . then national, etc. However, each can be similar. Each city has different rules, laws, ordinances, etc. The city of Austin has certain laws that I can violate and certain proposals that I can vote for whereas the county of Travis has its own set of proposals. But the City of Austin is also thus effected by the actions of the County of Travis. I know, confusing, but I tried. You will definitely need to find some wikipedia type explanation to help you distinguish the two, but there are significant differences - the city is governed by the mayor, the city council, etc., The county has county commissioners, etc.
Good luck.

A county is a region within a state. A county includes towns and cities, and it is important to know in which county you reside, as each has different rules and regulations. Also, each county maintains its own courts and government regulations.
In your residing state, look in the telephone book, in the map section, and see your state divided by counties. There should be at least seven to ten. Counties assess taxes, there is county water, county services, etc. In Pennsylvania, locations are actually talked about by county. There is York County and its services, which include York, Airville, Delta, and is made up of townships, also. Lancaster County, famous for the 903 crash, is a much larger, and neighboring county. It includes Lancaster, Lititz,Hebron, Lebanon, and many cities and townships. You need to speak with a knowledgeable adult about this. Many adults learn about counties, and how important they are, when they are purchasing their first home. The place to go for a fast review would be the local government. Look and see if your county has a government center. Many have government centers, which include local courts, town halls, and municipal offices.

It depends. Responsibilities are split up among various governments. However, the states often differ about what goes where.
In New York State, county government has a huge responsibility in the area of social services. Millions of dollars are transferred through that branch. The county also handles some law enforcement duties, taking over from the smaller towns and villages.
