Local offices
Weirton includes property in both Brooke County and Hancock County. Check the exact property address first, then contact the office for that county. Assessed value, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court-filed judgments are separate records and may have different offices.
The assessor sets a property’s assessed value. That is different from calculating or collecting the tax bill. Use the office for the county where the property sits.
Brooke County · Weirton properties in this county
Ask about a Brooke County property’s assessed value, parcel record, or assessment data. The Assessor determines value; the county’s levying bodies set tax rates.
Phone: 304-737-3667
Hancock County · Weirton properties in this county
Use this office for assessed value, parcel records, property searches, or assessment questions. The Assessor sets assessed value; the Sheriff’s Tax Office collects the taxes.
Phone: 304-564-3311, ext. 256
The County Sheriff’s Tax Office handles tax collection. It is a different task from valuing a property or searching a deed. Ask the correct county office for the current parcel balance and payment status.

West Virginia transfer tax
West Virginia charges an excise tax when real-estate title transfers. 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 tax to as much as $1.65 per $500. The combined amount is $1.65 per $500 at the base rates, and can be higher if the additional county rate is raised. A separate $20 Affordable Housing Fund fee is collected before the deed is recorded. State law places the tax on the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid.
Weirton properties can be in either Brooke County or Hancock County. Ask the title or closing office to calculate the amount for the property’s county and show it on the closing statement.
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 closing-cost promise does not pay the seller’s mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes. Those are separate property-specific amounts to check with the lender, taxing office, or title company.

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 Assessor in the county where the property is located: Brooke County Assessor for the Brooke County part of Weirton, or Hancock County Assessor for the Hancock County part. The Assessor sets assessed value; the Sheriff’s Tax Office handles collection, so those are different questions.
Contact the Sheriff’s Tax Office for the county where the property sits. Brooke County has a tax-record search with paid and unpaid filters; Hancock County’s Tax Office provides tax-payment and account information. Use the parcel or tax-ticket details on the notice.
The County Clerk handles deeds and other recorded county documents. The Circuit Clerk keeps Circuit and Family Court case filings and orders. A recorded lien or judgment instrument is not the same as the court case file; have a title professional review how a particular record relates to the property.
