Useful offices
Martinsburg is the Berkeley County seat. The County lists the City of Martinsburg separately from other county municipalities, so confirm the property’s jurisdiction before acting on a permit or inspection question. Assessment, tax-ticket, recorded-deed, and court-judgment questions are different searches.

Berkeley County Building Permits and Inspections official page ↗West Virginia transfer tax
West Virginia charges an excise tax when title to real estate transfers. State law sets the tax responsibility and lists exceptions. For the amount and treatment in a particular sale, ask the closing professional to identify the tax lines and confirm the figures for the property.
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. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
