How it works
West Virginia property tax is calculated using assessed value rather than full market value. In general, assessed value is determined as a fixed percentage of a property’s fair market value under state law. The estimated property tax is calculated by applying a combined local property tax rate to that assessed value.
Examples
An estimate starts with a market value for the property. That value is converted to assessed value using the statewide assessment rule. A combined local property tax rate is then applied to estimate the annual property tax.
Limitations and important notes
Property tax rates in West Virginia vary by county, municipality, school district, and voter-approved levies. Assessment details and eligibility for statutory reductions depend on property-specific and owner-specific factors. Actual tax bills may differ from the estimate shown.
