1. About This Reference
Preston County Property Records is privately operated and provides context and links for researching the county’s deeds, assessments, tax tickets, and parcel information. Government records remain with their public custodians. This website is not part of a county office, court, or West Virginia agency.
2. Lawful Use of the Site
You agree to use this site only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or anything found through it, 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. FCRA Consumer Reports Are Not Provided
Neither this website nor a linked search tool is a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.). Information displayed or returned through a link is not a consumer report and cannot be used for a purpose regulated by that federal law.
4. No Title, Survey, or Legal Opinion
Searching county property records does not establish clear title or a surveyed boundary, and the site does not give legal advice. Ask a title professional, licensed surveyor, or attorney to resolve those matters; a web reference cannot replace their work.
5. Links to Outside Sites
Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, have their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for their content, availability, pricing, or data practices.
6. Information Is Provided As Available
The site is supplied “as is” and “as available,” without warranties. We cannot promise that a page is complete, current, or error-free, or that an external portal will remain available or return accurate results.
7. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent the law allows, we are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this site or any linked resource, including decisions made from records found through it.
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operators of this site from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the site or violation of these terms.
9. Intellectual Property
The original text, design, logo, and layout of this site are protected by copyright. Linking to any page and quoting brief excerpts with attribution is welcome; republishing full pages or systematically copying content is not.
10. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms by posting a new version here. Continued use after a change means acceptance.
11. West Virginia Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of West Virginia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The West Virginia Freedom of Information Act, W. Va. Code §29B-1-1 et seq., concerns access requests directed to public bodies that hold records; this private reference site is not the official custodian of Preston County records.
12. Severability
If any part of these terms proves unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
