1. Scope of This Lincoln County Records Guide
Lincoln County Property Records is an independent guide to deed, tax, assessment, and parcel sources for Lincoln County, West Virginia. It links visitors to custodians and tools but does not host official records or represent a county office, court, Clerk, or Assessor.
2. Permitted and Prohibited Uses
Use the site only in a lawful manner. You must not use a page or linked result to:
- Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person
- Commit deed fraud, identity theft, or any other fraud
- Make FCRA-regulated decisions (credit, employment, tenant, insurance)
- Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
- Interfere with the site's operation or security
3. No Consumer Reports or FCRA Decisions
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. §1681 et seq. The pages and third-party results linked here are not consumer reports. Do not use them to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another purpose regulated by the FCRA.
4. No Title Opinion, Survey, or Legal Advice
Information about a Lincoln County parcel does not establish market value, clear title, or a surveyed boundary. A title professional, licensed surveyor, or attorney must evaluate those questions. Nothing on this site replaces their work or creates an attorney-client relationship.
5. External Portals and Search Providers
Lincoln County and state offices, courts, and mapping services control their own pages, access conditions, prices, and privacy practices. The county’s official website, land-record index, and state parcel viewer may change their links or results without notice. We cannot ensure that an outside search service remains available or returns the same information.
6. Information Provided Without Warranty
The site is offered on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We make no express or implied warranty that descriptions, contact details, dates, links, or search instructions are accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, or fit for a particular purpose.
7. Limits on Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operators are not responsible for direct or indirect loss, incidental or consequential damage, or other claims arising from access to these pages or outside resources, including reliance on a property record or a decision made after viewing one.
8. Responsibility for Misuse
You are responsible for claims, costs, and reasonable legal fees resulting from your unlawful use of the site or violation of these conditions, to the extent permitted by applicable law. This provision does not remove any right that cannot legally be waived.
9. Site Content and Copyright
Original writing, layout, graphics, and branding belong to their respective rights holders and are protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may link to a page and quote a short passage with attribution. Reproducing complete pages or copying the site systematically requires prior authorization.
10. Updates
We may revise these terms by publishing an updated page. Your use after the new version is posted indicates acceptance of the revised conditions.
11. West Virginia Law and Public Records
West Virginia law governs these terms, without applying conflict-of-law rules. Public access to government records is addressed by the West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code Chapter 29B, including §29B-1-3 and its exemptions. Eligible participants may use the state Address Confidentiality Program under W. Va. Code §48-28A and 153 CSR 37; this private site does not administer either program or determine a custodian’s response.
12. Remaining Terms
If a court finds one provision unenforceable, the other provisions remain effective to the extent the law permits.
