Bunker Hill Property Market Context
As a city in West Virginia, Bunker Hill inherits the state's assessment framework — which shapes how over-valuations occur and how homeowners can fight them.
West Virginia market character
West Virginia has the second-lowest effective property tax rates in the country at around 0.5%, and residential property is assessed at 60% of true and actual value. Despite low rates, mass appraisal inconsistencies still produce protest-worthy cases.
How West Virginia handles appeals
West Virginia homeowners appeal to the County Commission sitting as the Board of Equalization and Review, then Circuit Court. The process is straightforward but has a narrow window.
When to file in Bunker Hill
The Board of Equalization and Review meets in February. File your appeal to be heard during this session — after it adjourns, your value is locked.
