Bluefield is in Mercer County. City records and City service accounts go to City offices; County assessment, deed and probate records, and property-tax questions go to the corresponding Mercer County office.
Useful offices
An assessed value, property-tax bill, recorded deed, and court case are different records. Each office below handles a different part of a property question.
Mercer County · assessments and parcel records
Use the Assessor for assessed value, assessment records, and parcel-record questions. Property valuation is separate from a tax balance or a recorded deed.
1501 West Main Street, Suite 110, Princeton, WV 24740.
Mercer County Assessor’s Office ↗Mercer County · real-estate property taxes
The Tax Office handles county property-tax questions, including delinquent-tax collection. Use its official route for a bill or tax notice; an assessment record is not the tax account.
Mercer County Sheriff Tax Office ↗Mercer County · recorded documents and probate matters
The County lists the Clerk for recording and preserving official documents and for probate matters. Use this office for deed-recording and general probate-record questions; it cannot determine who may sign for a particular estate.
1501 West Main Street, Suite 121, Princeton, WV 24740.
Mercer County Clerk ↗City of Bluefield · City records and legal documents
The City identifies the Clerk as custodian of City records and legal documents and provides the City’s records-request route.
200 Rogers Street, Bluefield, WV 24701.
City Clerk and records requests ↗City of Bluefield · City service-fee accounts
The City Treasury FAQ asks for a copy of the recorded deed when changing ownership on a City fee account. Contact Treasury for the requirements for a particular account.
City Treasury ↗City of Bluefield · inspections, complaints, and building permits
The City division describes complaint investigation and building-permit work and lists inspection, rental-property, and vacant-building forms. Use the City route for a question about a Bluefield code or permit matter.
Inspection and Code Enforcement ↗A West Virginia sale rule
West Virginia charges an excise tax when real-estate title transfers. The first county tax is $1.10 per $500 of value. An additional county tax of $0.55 per $500 applies, and the county commission may raise that additional tax to as much as $1.65 per $500. Each $500 or fraction counts, and taxable value includes liens the buyer takes over. The County Clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording; the seller pays the tax unless the buyer accepts the deed without it paid. Ask the title company to confirm the applicable Mercer County rate and amount for the transaction.
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.
