Who runs this map
This is a statewide map, not a county site. West Virginia Property Viewer covers parcels across West Virginia, and Barbour County is one part of it. Statewide parcel layers are usually stitched together from county files, so the newest splits or sales may show up on the county's own records first. Our October 2026 check found the map open to the public, with no account or payment needed.
Searching for a parcel, step by step
- Open the statewide map with the button above.
- Search for an address in Barbour County, or zoom to the county on the map.
- Click a parcel to see the attributes the state layer includes.
- Write down the parcel number and use it for records searches with the Barbour County assessor or recorder.
Rural addresses don't always geocode well. When that happens, zoom in by hand and click the parcel, or search by owner name.

A note on accuracy
Keep in mind that a GIS parcel layer is a tax map, not a survey. For exact boundaries, look at the recorded deed and plat or hire a licensed land surveyor.
