In most states, a County Sherriff is a directly-elected position responsible to the voters of his/her County. Without money, however, the office can do little so budgets passed by the county's Board, Commission or however-named local taxing body provide a FUNCTIONAL responsibility to that body. In short, your County Commission probably "fie" the Sherriff, but they can make his orher job MUCH harder (or easier) depending on relationships.

The County Sheriff in most (all?) states is an elected official, and in many states the office of County Sheriff is a state constitutional position, which would mean that, electorally the Sheriff is elected by the voters, but constitutionally he is under the control of the Governor of the state.
