Subject: How many counties in USA?

In Australia, cadastral (land parcel) mapping is a function co-ordinated by
state government departments, who derive these data from surveys usually
conducted by private sector surveyors. Under the Torrens system of land
registration, the 8 states/territories also register the ownership and
transfers of land.
 
As a colleague is reviewing the digital cadastral mapping system in a number
of countries, it would be appreciated if someone could advise a website that
provides an overview of cadastral mapping in USA.
 
I understand cadastral (tax) mapping is conducted by each county tax
collector.
 
How many counties (ie separate cadastral/tax mapping systems) are there in
USA?
