A Fairmont property search: start here
Open the Marion County ArcGIS parcel map to start; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Marion County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every assessed parcel from Grant Town to Barrackville. If the land is near Rivesville, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For acreage around Grant Town, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Neighbors and nearby parcels
Look at adjoining lots near Pleasant Valley for context on nearby owners and uses; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Places you'll see on the map
Fairmont serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Pleasant Valley, Barrackville, Monongah, and Rivesville. Around 55,807 people call Marion County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over some 309 square miles. Marion County was formed in 1842, and some chains of title near Pleasant Valley are long.
Sections, lots and bearings
Older tracts around Farmington are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Subdivision lots in Monongah refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Monongah for any title or survey request.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Marion County meets Harrison County, Monongalia County, Taylor County, and Wetzel County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map.

Fairmont and the county around it
Fairmont is part of Marion County, West Virginia, so its parcels are on the county's map. As the county seat, Fairmont hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. Local government in Fairmont handles things like zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Land beyond the city limits toward Rivesville usually answers to county rules instead.
Tax data in the record
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Monongah; the County Assessor sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
Who the record really names
For an LLC on a parcel near Farmington, the state business entity search usually lists a registered agent. An estate listed as owner near Pleasant Valley usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
Which office to call
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Monongah are with the County Clerk, usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Rivesville are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on land around Rivesville. For land near Grant Town, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Grant Town, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Rivesville with its ID keeps working without signal.
Confirming with the deed
Use the book and page or instrument number from the record near Grant Town so the lookup is fast; a title search is wise before any purchase.
Contacting an owner politely
A short letter to the mailing address on the record gets more replies than a cold call for property around Barrackville.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Barrackville are filed with the County Clerk. Inherited tracts near Monongah can sit on many deeds, so a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
