Terms of Use for Fayette County Property Records

These conditions apply when you visit Fayette County Property Records or use its links and search features. By continuing to use this private reference site, you agree to follow them. If you do not accept the conditions, stop using the site.

1. About This Reference

Fayette County Property Records is operated privately. It explains and points to deed, tax, assessment, and parcel sources for Fayette County, West Virginia, but it does not host official government records. It is independent of county departments, courts, the County Clerk, Assessor, and other custodians.


2. Permitted and Prohibited Use

Use the site only in a lawful way. You must not use the site or information reached through it to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
  • Commit deed fraud, identity theft, or any other fraud
  • Make a decision regulated by the FCRA, including credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions
  • Scrape or republish large portions of this site without permission
  • Disrupt the site's operation or attempt to bypass its security

3. Fair Credit Reporting Act Restriction

This service is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq. Neither this site nor a result from a linked search provider is supplied as a consumer report. Do not use it to determine eligibility for credit, employment, tenant screening, insurance, or another purpose covered by that law.


4. No Title Opinion, Survey, or Legal Advice

Looking through property records does not establish clear title, determine a surveyed boundary, or provide legal advice. A title company or attorney can address a title question, and boundary work belongs with a licensed surveyor. This website cannot replace those services.


5. External Portals and Services

County and state portals, other government sites, and third-party services each set their own terms. That includes sponsored search tools. Fayette County Property Records does not control their content, uptime, fees, or privacy practices.


6. Site Provided Without Warranty

The reference is offered “as is” and when available, without express or implied warranties. We do not promise that any statement is complete, accurate, or up to date, or that an outside link will remain available or return the expected information.


7. Limitation of Liability

To the broadest extent permitted by law, the operators are not responsible for direct or indirect loss, incidental or consequential damages, or special damages arising from use of this site or an outside resource, including an action taken after reviewing a public record.


8. Responsibility for Misuse

You agree to protect and hold the site operators harmless from claims, losses, or reasonable legal fees that result from your unlawful use of the site or breach of these terms.


9. Site Content and Copyright

Original written material, design elements, logo, and page layout are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may link to a page and quote a short passage with attribution; reproducing a whole page or copying the collection systematically is not allowed.


10. Revisions to These Conditions

Updated terms take effect when posted on this page. If you continue to use the site after a revision, that continued use indicates acceptance.


11. West Virginia Law

West Virginia law governs these terms without applying its conflict-of-law rules. Requests to government custodians for existing public records are addressed separately by the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code §§29B-1-1 through 29B-1-7, including §29B-1-3. That statute governs qualifying government records; it does not make this private site a custodian or require an office to conduct a title search.


12. Severability

If a court finds a provision unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent allowed by law.
