The 0.62% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Charleston and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide West Virginia average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Charleston buyers. Many Charleston properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $50/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
