State governments provide services like running public schools, managing state parks, and maintaining roads and highways. They also oversee things like state laws, issuing driver's licenses, and collecting state taxes.

County governments provide services like law enforcement, fire protection, and public libraries. They also manage things like public health departments, animal control, and maintaining county roads.

Local governments provide services like garbage collection, water and sewer systems, and parks and recreational programs. They also manage things like zoning laws, building permits, and local police and fire departments.

Different levels of government are necessary because each level has specific responsibilities and areas of authority. State governments make decisions for the entire state, county governments make decisions for a specific area within the state, and local governments make decisions for a specific city or town. This helps ensure that each community's needs are met and that problems are addressed effectively.
