The Pal-Item’s recently created feature where Jess Price answers readers’ questions about the functions of the government is producing good results. Today, Jess answers a question that I know has created a great many neighborly disputes:
Stand on your property and visualize a line going from your property line or the right-of-way line straight up as high as anything attached to the ground would go. Everything on your side of that line is your property and you have sole control of it within the law of course. And while you may maintain something on the other side of the line, the property or right-of-way owner on that side has the right to control it.
Thus, although the trunk of a tree is well on your side of the property line, some limbs, perhaps nearly half of them, may be beyond the line and whomever owns or has that right-of-way can cut them as they wish.

Good information, and accurate to boot.
