City and county contacts

Start with the office that handles your question

Raleigh County identifies Beckley as its county seat, but the City and County are separate jurisdictions. The City-hosted Beckley 2045 plan is marked draft and describes an unusual City boundary with unincorporated pockets. A citywide map does not tell you which office handles a particular parcel; give the exact address to the office before relying on its route.

A West Virginia rule to check

Ask for the transfer-tax lines before you sign

West Virginia charges excise tax when real-estate title is transferred. The first county excise tax is $1.10 for every $500 or part of value. An additional county excise tax starts at $0.55 per $500, and the county commission may raise that additional tax to $1.65 per $500. The combined rate is therefore not the same in every county. The County Clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording.

State law generally puts the excise tax on the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid. Ask the title or closing company to show the current county rate, fee, and who pays each line for your transfer.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the West Virginia real estate transfer excise tax and the additional county excise tax. This does not pay the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.

Questions about Beckley and Raleigh County offices

Which office handles an assessed value or parcel question?

Contact the Raleigh County Assessor for assessed-value and parcel/address questions. The county tax-map viewer offers parcel searches and assessment information, but the Assessor describes it as still in development. Ask the office about the exact address.

Where do I ask about unpaid property taxes?

The Raleigh County Sheriff's Office Tax Division is the county tax-collection contact route. Use the current notice and the official Tax Division page to confirm the parcel balance, payment route, and any deadline. The Assessor's valuation information is a different task.

Where do I start with a deed, estate record, lien, or court judgment?

The Raleigh County Clerk provides county-records services and Probate Office information. The Clerk says it cannot determine whether a property is free of liens, so use a title professional for a property-specific lien search. A court judgment is a court-record question, not an assessment or tax-balance question; use the court and case details on the actual notice or judgment.

How do I know whether a City or County code office handles my address?

The City of Beckley and Raleigh County are separate jurisdictions. The City-hosted Beckley 2045 plan is marked draft and describes an unusual City boundary with unincorporated pockets. Check the exact address with the City or County before relying on a particular office; the City Code Enforcement page is marked under construction.

What transfer tax applies when a West Virginia house sells?

West Virginia charges real-estate transfer excise taxes when title is transferred. The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 or part of value, plus an additional county tax that starts at $0.55 per $500 and may be raised by the county commission to $1.65 per $500.
