In New Hampshire, county-level elected officials have specific responsibilities, and their salaries vary depending on the county’s budget and size. Here’s a breakdown of each role.
Sheriffs: The sheriff enforces state laws at the county level, oversees court security, manages prisoner transport, and handles civil process services.
County Attorney: The county attorney is the chief prosecutor, overseeing criminal prosecutions, managing cases, and working with law enforcement on investigations.
County Treasurer: The treasurer manages county funds, oversees investments, and ensures financial transparency within county operations.
Register of Deeds: The register of deeds records and maintains property records, including deeds, mortgages, liens, and other documents.
Register of Probate: The register of probate processes and maintains probate court documents, such as wills, estates, and guardianship records.
County Commissioner: County commissioners govern the county, overseeing budgets, managing county services, and setting policies. They may purchase personal property for the use of the county and its officers; and may sell any of the county personal property that is not needed for its uses.
