Parkersburg, West Virginia

Can you find out who owns it?
West Virginia has no state title register: deeds are recorded by the Wood County Clerk, and ownership is read from the county Assessor's roll. The Wood County Assessor's online Property Record Search is free with no account and shows, for each parcel, the current owner, mailing address, deed book and page, sales history with prices, and appraised and assessed values for 2024 and 2025 (assessment is 60% of appraisal). The WV GIS Technical Center's statewide parcel layer carries the same owner names (tax year 2023) for bulk use.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.
| Building | Use | Owner | Owner type | Last price paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital campus 800 Garfield Ave, between Ann St, Murdoch Ave and 6th-10th Sts |
Institutional | City of Parkersburg The roll splits the campus between the City and the hospital company. The most valuable parcel, 0.33 acre at Ann St & Murdoch Ave (8th St), is CITY OF PARKERSBURG, appraised at $28,295,800 for 2025, almost all building. So are 800 Garfield Ave (1.77 acres, $8,645,300), a 'HOSPITAL PARKING AREA', and parcels held as 'CITY OF PARKERSBURG HOSPITAL' or 'CITY OF PARKERSBURG %CAMDEN CLARK MEMORIAL HOSP'. Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital Corporation, at 800 Garfield Ave, holds about 67 smaller parcels under several spellings (2023 GIS copy), e.g. 604 Ann St ($1,803,900). No lease we opened sets the hospital's terms for the City's buildings. |

No sale price is recorded. No filing we opened states the US company's parent chain, so only the entity on the roll is named. |

Hotel | Leway Corp LLC Wikipedia: a historic hotel at 320 Market St, opened 1889, Queen Anne style, NRHP-listed 1982, fully restored 1986.

The record lists three sales under the same deed reference, $3,501,000 (1988), $2,000,000 (2002) and $250,000 (2019); it does not say whether the 2019 line was a whole-property sale. No document we opened names the LLC's members. |

Wikipedia carries a photograph captioned 'Parkersburg Municipal Building'. Treating this parcel as the Municipal Building rests on that mailing address and location; the roll itself does not name the building. |

| Parkersburg City Park Park Ave & 23rd St |
Land | City of Parkersburg The Assessor's current record names CITY OF PARKERSBURG as owner of the 42.2-acre tract 'BEING THE CITY PARK', deed book 85/222, appraised for 2025 at $4,464,700 ($3,529,400 land). The state GIS layer, which is a tax-year-2023 copy of the roll, still shows the tract under the Municipal Building Commission of the City of Parkersburg (39.84 calculated acres). That is the one material owner change between the two copies that we checked. |

A 1.126-acre outparcel at the same address belongs to MDC Coast 28 LLC (Thomaston). The record names the owner, not the store; the label is ours. |

The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
The most valuable ground in Parkersburg is not downtown office space. It is the Hino Motors plant by I-77, a City-owned hospital building, and the Treasury's leased office complex. Downtown land is cheap: the Courthouse block, a full acre on Market St, carries $403,700 of land value. All figures are 2025 appraisals on the Wood County Assessor's per-parcel records, read in Nov 2026; assessed value is 60% of appraisal.
Highest-appraised parcel$38.0M
Hino Motors Manufacturing USA Inc, 56.983-acre tract on WV Rt 14/25, Drain Rd (map 154 parcel 3.1): $38,000,400 ($1,507,400 land, $36,493,000 building). Wood County Assessor (s1).
Highest-appraised public parcel$28.3M
City of Parkersburg, 0.33 acre at Ann St & Murdoch Ave on the Camden-Clark hospital campus: $28,295,800, of which $28,181,500 is building. Assessor (s1).

Parcels in the city20,092
Parcels with CODIST 5405 (Wood County tax district 05, Parkersburg Corporation) on the WV GIS Technical Center statewide layer, tax year 2023; their calculated area totals 6,172 acres against 11.78 sq mi (7,539 acres) of land in the city (Wikipedia), the rest being streets and rivers (s2, s6).

Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Public bodies hold the most valuable ground in Parkersburg, and the largest single landlord by value is the City itself: its 234 parcels, $70.0M at 2025 appraisal, include most of the Camden-Clark hospital buildings. Wood County's Board of Education is close behind ($68.9M across 136 parcels, led by Parkersburg High and Parkersburg South). The federal presence is mostly leased: the Treasury's Fiscal Service offices belong to a REIT. Figures are the Wood County Assessor's 2025 appraisals for parcels in tax district 05 (Parkersburg Corporation), summed from each parcel's record in Nov 2026; acres are the record's land-table acres. Exempt property is still appraised.
| Name | Type | Tax district 05, 2025 appraisal |

| City of Parkersburg Includes parcels held for the Parkersburg Utility Board (13) and the water system (5).

Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
Almost no new housing is built inside Parkersburg. The Census Building Permits Survey records 4 single-family homes ($699,000 of construction) and one two-unit building in the city for 2025, all 12 months reported; Wood County as a whole permitted 81 single-family homes ($16.5M) and 3 duplexes. No national builder holds land in the city: the builder-named entities on the roll hold a handful of infill lots each. Figures are parcels in the entity's name in tax district 05 on the state GIS copy of the roll (tax year 2023).

Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Parkersburg's largest private landlords are a government-office REIT and out-of-state holding entities, not local office owners. The Treasury's Fiscal Service offices are the biggest commercial asset, and their owner is Easterly Government Properties. Net-lease vehicles from the Spirit and STORE funding programmes own single-tenant restaurant and store sites, and a group of 'FB' apartment companies mailing to Powell, Ohio holds five complexes. Locally, rental houses are concentrated in a few LLCs. Values are 2025 appraisals on the Assessor's records for entity-owned parcels of 0.75 acre or more in tax district 05 (340 read in Nov 2026). Counts are from the 2023 GIS copy.
| Name | Type | Tax district 05, 2025 appraisal / parcels |

The 10-K lists 'TREAS - Parkersburg', 182,500 sq ft, lease to 2041, $4,419,012 annualized lease income, gross carrying amount $54.4M.

Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- Who occupies the Leased Housing Developers Co building at 200 3rd St ($12.4M): Treasury contact pages seen in search results give the Bureau of the Fiscal Service's mailing address as 200 Third Street, but no page we opened ties that parcel to the Bureau, so it is not attributed.
- The terms on which Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital Corporation occupies the City-owned hospital buildings (lease, management agreement or otherwise): no lease or City record was opened. WVU Medicine's role is not stated by any source we opened.
- The members or parents of Leway Corp LLC (Blennerhassett Hotel), AR-Park / JSP-Park Shopping Center LLC (Park Shopping Center), DSJMJ Properties LLC, the FB apartment companies and a family-held LLC: no filing we opened names them.
- Whether the Blennerhassett Hotel's 2019 $250,000 sale line was a whole-property sale; the Assessor lists three sales under one deed reference.
- Hino Motors Manufacturing USA Inc's parent chain and what the plant builds: no filing we opened states either.
- Wood County Clerk deed-copy fees and recording index: not read; the Clerk's own pages were not opened.
- Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport (owner and operator: Wood County Airport Authority, per Wikipedia) is in Williamstown, outside the city, so it is not a marquee entry.
- City-wide totals of appraised value by class: the State Tax Department's county abstract was not opened, so no city-wide value total is given.
