1. What This Website Is
Jefferson County Property Records is an independent guide to finding local deed, tax, assessment, and mapping information in West Virginia. County and municipal offices remain responsible for the official files; this website neither holds those records nor acts for any government, court, Clerk, or Assessor.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use the pages and links only in ways permitted by law. In particular, you may not use this service or information obtained through it to:
- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
- Commit deed fraud, identity theft, or any other fraud
- Make FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, tenant, insurance)
- Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
- Interfere with the site's operation or security
3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Jefferson County Property Records does not meet the Fair Credit Reporting Act's definition of a consumer reporting agency (15 U.S.C. ยง 1681 et seq.). Neither the pages here nor results from a linked search vendor are consumer reports. Do not rely on them to determine someone's eligibility for credit, work, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by that law.
4. Not Title, Survey, or Legal Advice
Searching recorded deeds or a GIS map does not establish marketable title or a surveyed boundary, and this website is not a source of legal advice. Have a title professional review ownership, a licensed surveyor locate a line, or an attorney advise on a legal dispute.
5. Links to Outside Sites
County portals, other government websites, and commercial search tools operate independently and set their own rules. This site does not control their uptime, charges, returned information, or privacy practices.
6. No Warranties
This reference is offered "as is" and "as available." No promise is made that a contact detail, fee, procedure, page, or linked search result is complete, accurate, continuously accessible, or up to date.
7. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operators are not responsible for losses or damages arising from access to this site, use of a linked service, or decisions based on information found through either source.
8. Indemnification
If your unlawful use of the site or breach of these terms results in a claim against its operators, you agree to cover the resulting claim and reasonable legal costs to the extent allowed by law.
9. Intellectual Property
Original writing, graphics, branding, and layout are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may link to a page and quote a short passage with attribution; reproducing whole pages or copying the site in bulk is not permitted.
10. Changes to These Terms
Revisions take effect when the updated terms are posted on this page. Check this section for the current version when using the website.
11. Governing Law
West Virginia law governs these terms, without applying its conflict-of-law rules. Requests for public records from Jefferson County offices are separately governed by the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code ch. 29B, including its response and reproduction-cost provisions.
12. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply.
