A California county is asserting the authority to tax a casino owned by the Chukchansi Tribe.

The casino is located within the boundaries of the 80-acre Picayune Rancheria. But county officials say the 20-acre parcel is not held in trust but in fee status.

The property tax bill on the casino could be $1.5 million a year, according to The Fresno Bee.
