This Is Not a Government Office or Records Custodian. We operate a private reference site. We cannot pull records, certify copies, run a title search, or change an assessment. Those requests go to the office that holds the record. For emergencies, dial 911. If you believe you are being stalked or harassed, contact local police.
Looking for a Putnam County Record?
Choose the guide that matches the record, then contact the office that actually maintains it. The main routes are:
- Assessed owner, parcel fields, or sale entries: use the Putnam County property search.
- Deeds, plats and recorded interests: see Putnam County deed records or contact the County Clerk.
- Assessment values and tax bills: see Putnam County property tax records; the Assessor reviews values and the Sheriff Tax Division handles bills and receipts.
- Map layers and parcel numbers: use the Putnam County parcel maps guide and GIS resources.
- County offices and custodians: open the Putnam County records office directory.
- A record not available online: request it from the custodian under the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code chapter 29B.
