If you are being supervised in Washington County and move to another county you may be able to have your supervision transferred. Remember that conditions of supervision require you to get prior approval from your probation officer to change residence. There is no guarantee the transfer will be approved. The probation officer in the proposed county will investigate your residence to determine if it is appropriate. The proposed county must agree before you will be allowed to transfer.
Your probation officer will be able to answer your questions and help you through the process. Be sure to talk with your officer before you move.
