Start with the property address
Huntington is the county seat of Cabell County and extends into Wayne County. The county for a particular parcel and whether it is inside City limits are separate questions; a mailing address alone does not answer either one. Use the City Boundary Lookup and confirm the county with the appropriate office before relying on a record or charge.
Local offices and records
Assessment, deed records, probate, City transfer charges, and a court judgment are different tasks. Start with the office that matches the question, and use the actual property address and notice when you call.
Cabell County · real-estate assessment and mapping
Use the Real Estate Property office for assessment questions and Mapping for map inquiries. An assessment or map question is different from a deed-record, court-case, or current tax-balance question.
Real Estate Property: 304-526-9899 · Mapping: 304-526-8402 · 750 Fifth Avenue, Huntington, WV 25701.
Wayne County · real-estate assessment, mapping, and land-book inquiries
Use the Real Estate office for assessment and land-book questions. The Assessor is a different contact from the County Clerk for deeds and county records.
Real Estate: 304-272-6349 · Real Estate Office, 620 Hendricks Street, Wayne, WV 25570.
Cabell County · probate and county records
Use Probate for estate-record routing and the Record Room for deed, lien, will, and other county-record questions. These are record routes, not confirmation of a current payoff or tax balance.
Probate: 304-526-8627 · Record Room: 304-526-9820 · Courthouse–Suite 108, 750 5th Avenue, Huntington, WV 25701-2072.
Wayne County · deeds and related county-document inquiries
Use the County Clerk for deed and related county-record questions. The Clerk says probate operates by appointment, so call before making a trip.
304-272-6362 · 700 Hendricks Street, Wayne, WV 25570 · Mailing address: P.O. Box 248.
City of Huntington · boundary lookup, zoning, GIS, and floodplain information
Use the City page to find its City Boundary Lookup and check whether a property is inside city limits. A Huntington mailing address does not establish City jurisdiction or which county contains a particular parcel.
City of Huntington only · City fees, taxes, and charges tied to transfer
For a property inside City limits, use the City’s property-transfer page for outstanding City fees, taxes, and charges. The City says these should be addressed before transfer or may be collected at the sale.
The City’s Request for City Fees–Closing Form is due to Finance–Revenue 24 hours before the scheduled closing. The page does not establish the balance for a specific property.
Local rules to check
Start with the City’s transfer process if the property is inside Huntington limits, then have the title company confirm the transfer-tax figures for the parcel’s actual county.
If the property is inside Huntington city limits, the City says outstanding City fees, taxes, and charges should be addressed before transfer or may be collected at the sale. Its Request for City Fees–Closing Form is due to Finance–Revenue 24 hours before the scheduled closing. Check the address with the City Boundary Lookup first; a mailing address alone does not establish that the property is inside City limits.
This City process is separate from county assessment, deed records, court matters, and a property-specific title review. Use the City transfer page for the next step on City charges; use the current bill or notice to identify the office for a county tax balance.
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 starts at 55 cents per $500, and the county commission may raise that additional rate to as much as $1.65 per $500. Each $500 or fraction counts, and value includes liens the buyer takes over. The County Clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. State law generally makes the seller responsible for the excise tax unless the buyer accepts the deed without it being paid.
Huntington extends into Cabell and Wayne counties, and the applicable county rate can differ. Ask the title company to confirm the rate and figures for the actual parcel. 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 balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

Use the court and case information on the notice or judgment to ask about the court record.

If the judgment may affect a sale, have the actual document reviewed with the title company or your attorney.
