Neighborhoods and nearby places

Start with the place name, then use the exact address

East End, Elk City, Kanawha City, South Hills, and West Side are neighborhoods within Charleston city limits. Nearby South Charleston, Dunbar, St. Albans, and Nitro are separate cities in the Charleston metropolitan-area context. A neighborhood or nearby-city name does not establish a property’s condition, value, or permit jurisdiction; use the full address for local records or notice questions.

Local records and questions

Find the right Kanawha County office

The exact address and the document or notice you have can help identify the right office. For a permit or code question, use the issuing city or county office named on the notice; do not assume Charleston city instructions apply to a nearby municipality.

Kanawha County Assessor

Start here for property assessment and parcel-search questions. Assessment records are a useful property reference, but they are not a substitute for checking a deed or a tax account.

Kanawha County Clerk

Contact the County Clerk about a recorded deed or county estate-record question, and confirm which record or office applies to your situation.

Visit the County Clerk ↗

City permits and code notices

Follow the instructions on the notice and contact the office that issued it. Our Charleston guide explains what to gather when a house has code notices or serious disrepair; an as-is sale does not erase an order or lien.

How selling works

A written offer, then your decision

Tell us the address and what you know about repairs, access, occupancy, or estate questions. We review the house as-is; you can read the written offer and terms before deciding whether to accept.

Three simple steps

  1. 1

    Tell us about your house

    Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.

  2. 2

    Get your offer

    We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Close

    Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Closing costs in West Virginia

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.

Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Compare an as-is offer with listing

Compare what you would keep after costs, not just the listing price or cash-offer amount. Add the repairs, cleanout, holding costs, and selling costs that fit your house to the calculator; its result is an estimate.

If the main question is an inherited property, tenants, a code notice, or foreclosure timing, use the local situation page for that question.
