W. Va. Code § 22-22-16

Duty of assessor and citizens to notify Secretary when change of property use occurs

If an assessor in any county becomes aware of a change of remediated property use from nonresidential property to residential, the assessor shall check the land record of the county to ascertain if a land-use covenant appears to have been violated. Should it appear that a violation has occurred, the assessor shall notify the Secretary in writing of the suspected violation. If any citizen becomes aware of a change of property use from nonresidential to residential, the citizen may check the land record of the county to ascertain if a land use covenant appears to have been violated and may notify the Secretary in writing. The Secretary shall then investigate and proceed with any necessary enforcement action.
