Land Tax Free Eight Acre Estate Highlighted In Williamson Case
Eight acres owned by Jonn NW Williamson near Huntington Bay are reportedly tax free due to a long-ago transfer and a "more or less" parcel description.

He built a summer residence overlooking Huntington Bay after selling portions of the original tract. The dispute centers on whether the land is legally recognized and taxable.
