Local records and offices
Wheeling crosses Ohio and Marshall counties. Check the county on the parcel or tax record before using a county office; the city name alone does not identify which county holds the record. Assessment value, property-tax balances, deeds, and court judgments belong to different records and offices.
Ohio County · assessment records and property valuation
Use the Assessor for an Ohio County parcel’s assessed value and assessment-record questions. Valuation records are separate from tax balances, deed recording, and court judgments.
Ohio County · property-tax account and bill questions
For an Ohio County property-tax bill or an unpaid balance, ask this office for the parcel’s current account status. A property-tax balance is different from the excise tax charged when a deed transfers.
Ohio County · county public records, probate records, and deed recording
Use the County Clerk for Ohio County public-record and deed-recording questions. A deed or other land record is not a court judgment; ask the Circuit Clerk about a court case or judgment.
Phone: (304) 234-3656
Ohio County · court records and civil case or judgment questions
Use the Circuit Clerk for Ohio County court-file questions, including a civil judgment or case record. This is a different records route from the County Clerk’s deed and land-record route.
Marshall County · official county office for Marshall County parcels
Wheeling also includes parcels in Marshall County. Check the parcel or tax record first, then use this county’s official Clerk page rather than an Ohio County record. Ask the county for the office that handles the specific assessment, tax, deed, or court-record question.
Phone: (304) 845-1220
West Virginia rule
West Virginia charges an excise tax when a deed transfers real estate. The first county excise tax is $1.10 per $500 of value; an additional county excise tax starts at 55 cents per $500, and a county commission may raise that additional rate to as much as $1.65 per $500. Each $500 or fraction counts. The law generally places the tax on the seller unless the buyer accepts the deed without the tax paid.
The county rate depends on the parcel. Ask the closing professional to confirm the applicable county rate and show the actual transfer-tax figures in the written settlement terms.
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; those are separate.

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.”

Wheeling includes parcels in both Ohio County and Marshall County. Check the parcel or tax record for the county before looking up an assessment, tax account, deed, or court file. The Ohio County offices listed here do not cover a Marshall County parcel.
For an Ohio County parcel, use the Ohio County Assessor for assessment records and the Ohio County Tax Office for the property-tax account or unpaid balance. For a Marshall County parcel, use the official Marshall County Clerk page above to confirm the correct county office for the question.
For an Ohio County deed or recorded land document, contact the Ohio County Clerk. For a court case or judgment, contact the Ohio County Circuit Clerk. They are different record routes. For a Marshall County parcel, confirm the correct office through Marshall County before relying on an Ohio County record.
