This is actually a HTML question, not python:

You're doing it almost right except that the option tag should be closed 
as always.

<SELECT NAME="county">
   <OPTION VALUE="000">ALL</OPTION>
   <OPTION VALUE="001">AAA</OPTION>
   <OPTION VALUE="002">BBB</OPTION>
</SELECT>

better yet but may not be supported in all browsers (try):

<SELECT NAME="county">
   <OPTION VALUE="000" LABEL="ALL"></OPTION>
   <OPTION VALUE="001" LABEL="AAA"></OPTION>
   <OPTION VALUE="002" LABEL="BBB"></OPTION>
</SELECT>
