About the Huntington Property Market
Huntington is a city located in Cabell County, West Virginia. Every property inside the Huntington city limits is assessed by Cabell County Assessor, which applies West Virginia property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Huntington property values are set at the county level, the $120,000 county median home value and 0.65% effective tax rate apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Huntington home is over-assessed have the right to file a appeal directly with Cabell County Assessor before the February 1 - February 20 deadline.
West Virginia allows the assessor to defend or adjust the assessed value during a appeal, so Huntington homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.
Huntington Property Market Context
Huntington sits within West Virginia's broader property tax landscape as a city, and local assessments reflect both state rules and county-level mass appraisal practices.
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 Huntington
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.
