About Morgan County Property Records

Purpose of This Morgan County Guide

Morgan County property records are divided by function. The County Clerk holds recorded instruments and probate records, the Assessor maintains parcel and valuation entries, the Sheriff’s Tax Office handles current tax collection, and the GIS office manages addressing and map services. This guide brings together the public search routes, known date ranges, office contacts, and request details a researcher may need to move between those custodians.

Records and Search Guidance

• Pages by record type: property search, deed records, property tax records, and parcel maps
• The offices behind the records: Morgan County Clerk, Assessor, Sheriff’s Tax Office, Planning Commission, and GIS and Addressing
• Search walkthroughs: how to search by address, owner, or parcel; how to trace a chain of title; how to read a tax bill and a parcel map
• Access rules: what West Virginia law makes public, what copies cost, and how to request records that are not online
