This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. We operate a private reference site. We cannot pull records, certify copies, run a title search, or change an assessment. Those requests go to the office that holds the record. For emergencies, dial 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.
Looking for a Specific Record?
The fastest route for the property records people ask about most in Nicholas County:
- Owner and sale research: start with the Nicholas County property search
- Deeds and chain of title: see Nicholas County deed records
- Assessed value, exemptions, and tax bills: see Nicholas County property tax records
- Boundaries and parcel numbers: see Nicholas County parcel maps
- The offices behind the records: see Nicholas County property records offices
- Records not online: submit a specific request under the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act to the custodian that holds the record
For a recorded deed or map, contact the Nicholas County Clerk. The Assessor handles assessment values and tax-map questions. These are public offices; this site cannot retrieve or certify records for you.

Ask the named custodian about actual copy charges and the available format.
