Counties of Ohio

This is a list of the eighty-eight counties in the U.S. state of Ohio. The Ohio Constitution allows counties to set up a charter government as many cities and villages do, but only Summit County has done so. Counties do not possess home rule powers and can do only what has been expressly authorized by the Ohio General Assembly. Ohio law defines a structure for county government, although each county may choose to define its own. Summit County has chosen an alternate structure, while all of the other counties use the default structure. The elected county officials include a sheriff (the highest law enforcement officer in the county); prosecutor (equivalent of a district attorney in other states); coroner, engineer, auditor, treasurer and clerk of courts.

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code, which is used by the United States government to identify states and counties uniquely, is provided with each entry.[1] Ohio's code is 39, which when combined with any county code would be written as 39XXX. The FIPS code for each county links to census data for that county.
