1. Nature of This Reference
Barbour County Property Records is privately operated and provides general information about deed, assessment, tax, parcel, and permit sources for Barbour County, West Virginia. It does not hold or issue the official records and is not affiliated with a local or state office, court, Clerk, or Assessor.
2. Lawful Site Use
Use the reference and linked tools only for lawful purposes. You may not use information found here to:
- Stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or harm another person
- Commit deed fraud, identity theft, or another unlawful act
- Make a decision governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act
- Copy or republish the site’s material at scale without permission
- Disrupt the site, its security, or a linked service
3. Consumer Report Exclusion
This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq. Neither its text nor information returned by a linked provider is a consumer report. It may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose covered by that law.
4. No Title or Survey Opinion
A property-record search is not a title examination, boundary survey, appraisal, or legal opinion. A title professional reviews the chain and claims; a licensed surveyor locates boundaries; an attorney advises on legal rights. This reference does not replace any of those services.
5. Outside Links and Providers
Official offices, courts, archives, libraries, and third-party search tools set their own rules. Barbour County Property Records does not control an outside site’s content, availability, fees, or data practices. Review that provider’s terms before submitting information or paying a charge.
6. Information Without Warranty
The reference is supplied on an “as is” and “as available” basis. No promise is made that a page is complete, accurate, or current, or that a linked portal will work or show a correct result. Confirm a record with its official custodian.
7. Liability Limits
To the fullest extent allowed by law, the operators are not liable for direct or indirect loss, special or consequential damages, or another claim arising from use of the reference or an outside resource. This includes reliance on a record or an action taken after a search.
8. Responsibility for Misuse
You agree to protect the site operators from claims and reasonable legal costs caused by your unlawful use of the site, misuse of records, or violation of these terms. This condition does not remove any right that cannot be limited by law.
9. Original Material
The site’s original writing, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. A short attributed quotation or link is welcome. Republishing a full page or copying the collection systematically is not allowed without permission.
10. Revisions to Terms
These terms may be changed by posting a new version on the site. Continued use after a revision takes effect indicates acceptance of the updated terms.
11. West Virginia Law
West Virginia law governs these terms without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code chapter 29B, governs requests to public bodies for non-exempt records. It calls for a reasonably specific request and a response as soon as practicable, within five days excluding weekends and legal holidays; actual reproduction costs may apply, but search labor may not be charged under the cited rule. Vital-record restrictions remain governed by W. Va. Code §16-5-27.
12. Severable Terms
If a court finds one term unenforceable, the remaining terms continue to apply to the extent the law allows.
