While sometimes translated as "county," it is more accurately translated as "district," similar to a township in the United States or a district of England.

A district consists of a combination of cities (شهر ''shahr'') and rural districts (دهستان, ''dehestān'') (fourth-level divisions). The official governor of a district is called a ''bakhshdar'', the head of the ''bakhshdari'' office. Rural districts are a collection of villages and their surrounding lands.
