Theater parcel assessment quirks fuel Raleigh County tax loss
The Crab Orchard Drive In Theater site, 27.68 acres, sold for about 250000 last September and is assessed at 13450, one eighteenth of value. State law requires true value and half-value assessment, but the sale postdates July 1, 1971, delaying changes until 1973. Estimated annual revenue loss runs about 3100, with current tax bills at 372.88. Raleigh County Assessor Wes Thompson notes ongoing statewide reappraisal and newly hired appraiser A L Cole, while theaters’ profitability and ownership ties to Wardens and P A Real Estate Corp. are outlined alongside pending development plans.
