Delivering mail is a function that would not be provided by a county government. In the United States, delivering mail is a federal service provided by the United States Postal Service (USPS), an independent agency of the executive branch of the federal government. County governments do not handle mail delivery.
Other services such as issuing marriage licenses, providing sheriff's office services, and repairing sewer systems can be part of the responsibilities of county governments, depending on local laws and regulations. County governments typically manage local services such as record-keeping (including marriage licenses), law enforcement (through the sheriff's office), and maintenance of infrastructure like sewer systems within their jurisdictions.
