That is for each state to determine.

about 3,000 counties in untied states

Including the parishes of Louisiana, the boroughs and census areas of Alaska, independent cities, and Washington County, D.C., the United States consists of 3143 second-level divisions.

The District of Columbia had consisted of two counties, but Alexandria County, D.C. was returned to Virginia in 1846. Delaware is divided among three counties, the least of any state. Texas is divided among 254 counties, the most. Counties tend to be much larger in the west than in the east. For example, Arizona, which has 13 times the area of New Jersey, has only five sevenths as many counties.
