This is closer to the time of the lawsuit and has some more details - they sold it to a trust who then sold it to the city some years later, and the city rezoned it in 2005. It's possible they missed the timing maybe?

Thanks, I actually just found that article- and it gives a completely different view of events than the posted article. For one, it says the suit was from a group of residents, not the family who donated the land.

To be fair the article never says that the family who donated the land was the one who was suing.

		Okay, I can only see a few sentences and was going off what other commenters have said.

This may be a stupid question... do cities need to pay state property tax on properties they own?
