Hours for the County Clerk, Assessor, and Sheriff Tax Office were not stated in the research material, so confirm them before visiting. The Fairmont planning desk lists hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays. The County Clerk email marioncounty@wvsos.com belongs to that public office, not to this privately operated reference.
