About the official source
Preston County doesn't have its own viewer in our directory, so we point you to a statewide map: West Virginia Property Viewer. Zoom in on Preston County to see its parcels. Because a state agency compiles this layer from local data, check with the Preston County assessor or recorder before relying on a recent change. As of our October 2026 test, anyone could open it without signing in or paying.
Finding a property on this statewide map
- Press the button to load the statewide viewer, then move the map to Preston County.
- Use the viewer's search tool to find an address or parcel, if it has one.
- Click a lot to read its details.
- For deeds, taxes or official copies, take the parcel number to the county's own offices.
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.
