I, Curt Carter, President and Chief Executive Officer of County Bank Corp,
certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of County Bank Corp;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of
     a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
     statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
     were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
     report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this report, fairly present in all material
     respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the registrant and have:

       (a)    Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
       such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
       supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
       registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
       us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
       which this report is being prepared;

       (b)    [THIS PARAGRAPH INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK.]

       (c)    Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure
       controls and procedures and presented in this report our
       conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
       and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this
       report based on such evaluation; and

       (d)    Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
       control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
       most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
       the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
       reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control
       over financial reporting; and

5.   The registrant's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board
     of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):

       (a)    All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
       or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
       reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
       process, summarize and report financial information; and

       (b)    Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or
       other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
       control over financial reporting.
