About the Old Fields Property Market
Old Fields is a city located in Hardy County, West Virginia. Every property inside the Old Fields city limits is assessed by the Hardy County assessor, which applies West Virginia property tax rules uniformly across the county.

West Virginia allows the assessor to defend or adjust the assessed value during a appeal, so Old Fields homeowners should build a strong evidence-based case before filing — which is exactly what ProtestMax generates for $45.
Old Fields Property Market Context
Old Fields homeowners navigate the same West Virginia assessment system as every other community in the state, but local market dynamics mean over-assessments here have their own character.
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 Old Fields
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.
