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.
Contact the Office That Holds the Record

A FOIA request should name the record custodian and describe the record with reasonable detail. Under West Virginia Code §29B-1-3, the custodian must respond as soon as practicable and within five days excluding weekends and legal holidays. Actual reproduction cost may be charged, but not search or retrieval labor.
