Find the right help for your Fairmont property

Use the property address and the notice or record in front of you to choose the right starting point. The Assessor handles assessment and property-record questions; a deed, court judgment, unpaid-tax balance, and transfer tax each follow a different path. If you want to compare a direct sale, tell us what is happening with the house and we can review the property as-is.

Call 888-274-5006. You can also send the Fairmont property address through the form; you do not have to call first.

A West Virginia rule to check

Transfer excise taxes: ask for the figures on this sale

West Virginia charges an excise tax when real-estate title transfers. The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 of value. An additional county excise tax of 55 cents per $500 applies; a county commission may raise that additional tax to as much as $1.65 per $500. Each $500 or fraction counts, and the value includes liens the buyer takes over. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. State law generally assigns the excise tax to the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid.

Ask the title or closing professional to calculate the tax and recording fee for the specific Marion County transfer and show the figures before closing. 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 your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.

“Howard worked at Home Savings Bank for twenty-eight years. When he retired, we talked about downsizing for two years before we actually did it. The property tax on our Canfield Road house was $3,800 a year, and with both of us on fixed incomes that added up. USA Home Buyers closed in seven days. We're in a smaller place in Boardman with half the maintenance.”
Barbara and Howard W.Canfield Road, Youngstown OHMarch 2026
“I got behind on payments after losing my warehouse job. The lender filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained the Ohio judicial foreclosure timeline, made a written offer the next morning, and we closed before the case moved to summary judgment. I walked away with money instead of losing everything.”
Denise K.Brier Hill, Youngstown OHFebruary 2026
“The house on Michigan Avenue had been in Clara's family since 1951. When the waterline under the street broke, water backed up through the foundation and we had standing water in the basement for four days. Mold, foundation damage, HVAC destroyed. We're both past seventy and we couldn't put $40,000 into a house we'd been thinking about leaving anyway. Closed in ten days.”
Ed and Clara B.Stambaugh-Thompson, Youngstown OHJanuary 2026

Questions about Fairmont and Marion County seller resources

Which office can help me check an assessed value or property record card?

Use the Marion County Assessor’s property-record-card link for assessment and parcel-record questions. An assessed value is not the current amount due on an unpaid property-tax bill.

Where should I start with an unpaid property-tax bill?

Use the payment contact on the current bill or notice, or start at the Marion County official website to find the right county contact. Ask for the parcel-specific balance and any deadline. The Assessor’s property record card is not a tax payoff.

Where do I ask about a recorded deed or a court judgment?

For a recorded deed or land-record question, start with the Marion County Clerk’s official duties page. For a judgment or court case, use the West Virginia Judiciary Marion County information page to find the relevant court. These are separate record paths.

What West Virginia transfer taxes should I ask about when selling?

West Virginia has a real-estate transfer excise tax and an additional county excise tax. Ask the title or closing professional to calculate the amount for the specific transfer and show it with the recording fee. 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.
