STATEWIDE TAXPAYER FAQ
WEST VIRGINIA PROPERTY TAX & EQUALIZATION FAQ
What is the statutory deadline to appeal property taxes in West Virginia?
The resolved statutory filing deadline for West Virginia is February 15, 2027 (W. Va. Code § 11-3-24). Initial local reviews are filed with the County Commission sitting as Board of Equalization and Review, with administrative escalation to the West Virginia Office of Tax Appeals (OTA) / Circuit Court.
How is residential property assessed in West Virginia?
Under West Virginia law, residential real property is assessed at 60% of fair market value (and commercial property at 60%). Equal and uniform taxation across properties is protected under W. Va. Const. art. X, § 1 ("Taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout the State, and all property, both real and personal, shall be taxed in proportion to its value").
How does Truth-in-Taxation work during West Virginia county reappraisals?
Under W. Va. Code § 11-8-6e (Rollback formula reducing statutory levy rates following statewide revaluation), when a county completes a reappraisal cycle (Annual cyclical 3-year market review by County Assessor), the taxing authority must calculate a certified revenue-neutral tax rate so the reappraisal itself does not automatically create an unadvertised windfall tax increase.
