Welcome to EL&U. I believe this is a duplicate of In what contexts would I capitalize "city" and "county"? and you may also find …coordination among State and local, Should “State” be capitalized on its own?, Capitalization: 'rivers', and Capitalize common noun when it follows a list of proper nouns? useful. This is largely a matter of style, and whether you consider Counties part of the name or not. – choster Oct 25 '17 at 21:39

Yes counties should be capitalized.
As explained on yourdictionary.com:
...continents (South America), countries (Belgium), states (Wisconsin), counties (Prince William County), cities (London) and towns (Lizard Lick) get capitalized.
