In the US: Search warrants are issued by judges, magistrates or other judicial officers after application is made by law enforcement. The application (affidavit) identifies the premise(s) to be searched and the probable cause that was developed to support the reason for the search. After review by the judge to be certain that the affidavit is legally sufficient and probable cause does, in fact, exist, the judge signs the affidavit which then legally makes it a warrant and law enforcement carries it out.

Yes a judge from one county can issue a search warrant for you in another county. Another view: Use caution with the first answer. If the two counties are within the same Judicial District - THEN a judge from one county can issue a warrant to be served in the other county. HOWEVER - if the counties and the judges are not part of the same judicial district they cannot issue valid warrants, cross-jurisdictionally, in the other county.
