This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. We operate a private reference site. We cannot pull records, certify copies, run a title search, or change an assessment. Those requests go to the office that holds the record. For emergencies, dial 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.

For a Berkeley County record question, start with the office that keeps that record. These routes distinguish deeds, assessment accounts, tax bills, and mapping questions:
- Who owns a property, or what it sold for: see the Berkeley County property search
- Deeds and chain of title: see Berkeley County deed records
- Assessed value, exemptions, and tax bills: see Berkeley County property tax records
- Boundaries and parcel numbers: see Berkeley County parcel maps
- The offices behind the records: see Berkeley County property records offices
- Records not available online: send a reasonably specific request to the custodian under the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W.Va. Code §29B-1-3

A FOIA request must describe the records with reasonable specificity and go directly to the public-body custodian. West Virginia law requires a response as soon as practicable and within five days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays; exceptions and fees may apply. This private reference site is not the custodian and cannot retrieve, certify, or correct county records.
