You Lucked out in the way your state rules in this matter. Here in Western NY state, It's not that way. The Seneca nation reservation. If your house is on the res. you own nothing. Not the land or any improvements on the land ( house, garage, barn, etc,) No matter how many decades(centuries) the property has been yours. If they choose to come in and clear cut your trees they CAN AND WILL !!! An annual lease is paid to the nation, don't pay it and out you go. This has happened too many times. Big question here is, If the Indians own the land and you pay them rent, Why must the non-Indian pay state and county taxes on it. Do other renters pay the property taxes,or does the legal owner pay the tax? I seriously thought we were going to play COWBOYS AND INDIANS here again also. This has been a avery HOT issue here. Just this past week in Cubs NY where the Senecas have a small parcel of reservation on a lake, they re-claimed it. There were people who had homes and camps for MANY MANY years along this lake. The nation took it with the help of Federal marshals and state police. Out went the people with no compensation. Not one FRIGGING penny. WATCH-OUT Mark you may have won this battle but the WAR is just starting. And the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is on their side. As your Indian Tribe learns that they can do as they please, Because they are a sovereign. THEY WILL....GOOD LUCK
