I live in the country and want to know, if the county is responsible for high water pressure? Or do I have to hire a plumber to and pay money to have is regulated to a safe PSI?

Its your problem... they are not responsible for anything beyond the water meter.

Hi Crystal
As smoothy stated, reducing pressure to reasonable levels is the responsibility of the homeowner.
Here, you will have to hire a plumber to install a pressure regulating valve and have him/her dial the pressure back to say 55-65 PSI maximum for best long term results!
Good luck!
