About the Alloy Property Market
Alloy is a city located in Fayette County, West Virginia. Every property inside the Alloy city limits is assessed by the Fayette County assessor, which applies West Virginia property tax rules uniformly across the county.
Because Alloy property values are set at the county level, the same assessment rules apply to homes throughout the city. Homeowners who believe their Alloy home is over-assessed have the right to file a appeal directly with Fayette County.
West Virginia allows the assessor to defend or adjust the assessed value during a appeal, so Alloy homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.
Alloy Property Market Context
Alloy 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 Alloy
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.
Common Alloy Property Types
Alloy homeowners typically file protests across these property categories:
Single-family homes
The most common residential type and the dominant protest category.
Condominiums
Common in denser parts of the city and near employment centers.
Townhouses
Attached-home neighborhoods in newer subdivisions.
Small multi-family
Duplexes and 2-4 unit buildings assessed as income property.
Commercial

ProtestMax supports all of the above property types in Alloy. Each appealpacket is tailored to the property's classification and uses comparable sales from Alloy and surrounding Fayette County neighborhoods.
