The county is the key field to realize the urban-rural integrated development, and the homestead system reform is the important starting point to promote the urban-rural integration at county level. In this paper, we intend to explore the internal connections between the county urban-rural integration and homestead system reform, analyze the mechanism of the homestead system reform promoting county urban-rural integration, and propose the corresponding reform path. The results indicate that: (1) The core of the county urban-rural integrated development is the free and equal flow of urban and rural factors and the profound integration of functions and the equalization of rights and interests. In addition, it is the basic driving force for county urban-rural integrated development to clarify the property right structure of rural land elements and encourage the optimal combination of "people-land-money" elements. (2) Currently, for the homestead system reform, "housing for all households" is the premise, "separation of three rights" is the foundation and "saving and intensive use" and "realization of property functions" are the orientation. The three rural spaces can be orderly adjusted through the withdrawal and arrangement of idle homesteads, so as to support the improvement on the rural infrastructure and public service facilities, and promote the optimization and reconstruction of rural space. The moderately released right of use can promote the development of rural industries as well as the urban-rural cultural exchanges, force the rural governance to be modernized, and push the multi-dimensional integrated development of urban and rural areas at county level. (3) To fulfill the demand of county urban-rural integrated development, we must first clarify the main direction of the homestead system reform in different counties and the reason for the reform of homestead system. Secondly, it is the main focus of the reform of homestead system to improve the marketization allocation level of homestead as a land element and increase its flowability. Third, in the context of digital rural construction, the homestead information management platform can be built with the up-to-date information technology, trying to raise the homestead management level, and provide support for the homestead system reform. Finally, taking the homestead system reform as a breakthrough, we should link various county urban-rural integration policies in combination with measures such as capital introduction and talent guarantee, and form an overall effect, which is the key to promote the multi-dimensional integration of county urban-rural development.
