Use the County Clerk’s record-search and document-recording resources for deeds and other documents recorded in the county. A deed search is different from checking assessed value, a current tax balance, or a court judgment.
A West Virginia sale cost to check
West Virginia charges an excise tax when title to real estate is transferred. The first county excise tax is $1.10 for each $500 of value, or fraction of $500. An additional county excise tax of 55 cents per $500 applies; a county commission may raise that additional rate to as much as $1.65 per $500. The county clerk also collects a $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee before recording. State law generally places the tax on the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid.
Those are the statutory rates, not a confirmation of the current Monongalia County rate for a particular property. Ask the title company to show the taxable value, applicable county rate, and recording fee for your sale. Some transfers, including certain no-consideration transfers between close family members, are excluded.
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. Those are separate items to confirm for the property.

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.”
“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.”
“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.”

Use the Monongalia County Clerk record search and document-recording links above. A recorded-document search does not replace a property-specific title review or answer a separate tax or court-record question.
Use the court and case information on the notice or judgment to request the court record. Court judgments are a different record from an assessor’s valuation, a property-tax account, or a deed search; ask a title professional how a judgment affects the property.
