The Oneida Nation of New York has officially ended its property tax dispute with the city of Oneida.
The tribe and the city reached a deal in March 2006. The tribe agreed to pay property taxes until its land goes into trust.
The deal came after the tribe filed a lawsuit against the city. But the tribe only recently filed paperwork for the settlement.
The tribe has reached deals with other municipalities over property taxes. The tribe wants more than 17,000 acres in two counties placed in trust.
Oneida County and Madison County have refused to negotiate. A federal judge, however, said the counties cannot foreclose on land owned by another sovereign. The decisions are being appealed.
