Taylor County Contacts

This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record.


Contact the Record Owner

Taylor County uses a regional jail and several distinct record owners. Call before visiting because the research did not establish public inspection hours for most offices.

West Virginia DCR Central Office

1409 Greenbrier Street
Charleston, WV 25311
304-558-2036

Use for WVDCR OIS and public-record routing. Mark FOIA mail clearly and arrange inspection hours.

Tygart Valley Regional Jail and Correctional Facility

400 Abbey Road
Belington, WV 26250
304-637-0382
Fax: 304-637-0289

Ask which unit can provide public current-status or release and movement information.

Taylor County Sheriff

214 West Main Street
Grafton, WV 26354
304-265-3428
Fax: 304-265-3016

Use for sheriff-created arrest, incident, process, and transport records, not the WVDCR release transaction.

The correct route depends on the requested item:

  • For a released person or release record, begin with the Taylor County search and records path.
  • For parole, probation, or Community Corrections, use Post-Release Supervision.
  • For court documents, call the Magistrate Clerk at 304-265-5762 or the Circuit Clerk at 304-265-2480, both at 214 West Main Street in Grafton.
  • For Taylor probation, call 304-265-5135 at the Courthouse Annex, Room 206.
  • For a parole decision, contact the West Virginia Parole Board at 304-558-6366, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • For a state custody alert, call West Virginia VINE at 1-866-984-8463; the official service states help is available around the clock.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator page listed in the footer.
