How to find the information

For Ohio County land records handled by the state, open the State Auditor search. In Certified to State, choose the tax year and Ohio, then enter an available identifier such as a name, ticket number, account number, or map and parcel. In Certified to Deputy Land Commissioners, select Ohio in Counties and use the available search fields. Review the record category and year before relying on a result.

For unpaid real-estate bills still held by Ohio County, ask the Sheriff’s Tax Office for a tax-ticket lookup or the latest available delinquent real-estate list. Give the tax year and parcel or ticket number if known. Ask which office now holds the record and how to obtain a copy.

Use Office website below for the county route. The county Tax Office page links WV Property Taxes for online tax records. Select Ohio County, West Virginia, rather than the state of Ohio or another Ohio County.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Ohio County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”

Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.

County-specific notes

The county Tax Office page links WV Property Taxes for online tax records. Select Ohio County, West Virginia, rather than the state of Ohio or another Ohio County. A state-search result or historic delinquent list does not establish an unpaid balance today. No matching records in one search does not establish that all county taxes are paid. Verification covers access sources, not individual tax bills.
