The duty of the County Assessor under the West Virginia Constitution is to determine the value of real and personal property for the purpose of taxation. The role of the Assessor in the property taxation process is frequently misunderstood. It is often said that the Assessor increased the taxes, but in reality the Assessor’s only role is to fairly determine the true and actual appraised (fair market) value of real and personal property and to place in the proper tax class.
Our goal is to serve you, the taxpayers of Morgan County with honesty, integrity and professionalism. Please call the office @ (304) 258-8570 with any questions, problems or concerns you may have and either my staff or I will be more than happy to assist you in a timely manner.
WV Legislature in March 2023 passed (HB 2526), which includes State Tax Credits for Vehicles, Small Businesses and Disabled Veterans. This will provide some relief, however not until 2025 when you file your 2024 Income Tax with the State. (Taxpayers that do not owe WV income taxes and are not required to file a WV income tax return will be able to file a claim for a rebate in early 2025)
