Normal business hours will resume on Tuesday, October 13, 2026 Directions to Courthouse “County government as we know it today in West Virginia originated with the passage of the Judicial Amendment of 1880. The Amendment provided for a three-member, elective body; removed most of the county commissioner’s judicial function except limited ones as in settlement of accounts and appointment of guardians and committees; and retained the county court (now commission) with central authority in fiscal matters as its primary function. West Virginia’s counties do not possess inherent rights of self government. They are under the State’s complete control as its creation; and their authority to perform even local functions is spelled out in the Constitution or by legislative enactments. In addition to members of the county commission, the elective officials are sheriff, assessor, prosecuting attorney, surveyor, county clerk and circuit clerk.” —Richard Shelton 1913-2000 Founder of the West Virginia Association of Counties WHEN VISITING THE COURTHOUSE When visiting the courthouse, you will be required to enter through the main entrance on Main Street.
