West Virginia eviction research
State context for eviction filings, plus directories of West Virginia counties and major cities. Cited volumes come from named public sources — never from a fabricated local count.
What a filing means in West Virginia
An eviction filing is a court case asking a judge for possession of a rental unit. It is not a lockout. Self-help lockouts, utility shutoffs, and removing belongings without a court process are illegal. Local courts and executing offices set their own calendars — we do not publish guaranteed timelines.
West Virginia eviction actions are commonly filed before a magistrate in the county of the property.
EvictIQ operational timestamps (service attempts, writ applications, setout windows) are not claimed for this state. What follows is process education and public-source geography, not a field-coverage claim.
None of this is legal advice. Statutes, local rules, and court practice change.

Counties and county-equivalents
Every West Virginia county-equivalent has a page. Templates are intentionally thin: a filing is a court case, not a lockout, and we do not invent a county filing total when we do not have one.
