The viewer Brooke County publishes
The no-cost parcel map for this area is the Brooke County ArcGIS parcel map, and no login is needed to use it. Near Windsor Heights, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a home near Follansbee, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
Where Weirton fits in
Weirton sits in Brooke County, West Virginia, so its parcels are on the county's map. For land near Follansbee, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits out by Follansbee generally answers to county rules instead.

Using it on a phone

Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed from the County Clerk; the parcel map near Bethany only summarizes it. Long-held tracts around Bethany can go back through a long string of deeds, so a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
Reading a parcel record
If sale dates appear, they help gauge the market near Bethany give a rough idea of values; they're not an appraisal.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Brooke County touches Jefferson County, OH, Washington County, PA, Hancock County, and Ohio County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map.

Keeping a record

What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on land around Beech Bottom. If you're looking near Bethany, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
When the map won't load
