Actually, in most cities the government does own the first 15 ft of your front yard. The good part is that they have to maintain it if there is a sewer break, etc. But technically it is theirs, not yours.

Is the city liable for damage because of a blocked sewer line?

It depends on whose property it's on. If it's past your property line, it's your problem; if it's on the city's property, it's their problem (also theirs if they have a utilities easement or legal right-of-way on your property that pertains to the problem. *I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice and you should seek counsel if you intend to take any action*


If I pay someone elses property taxes does the property become mine?

Answer:If you pay someone's property taxes you would be considered a volunteer. That wouldn't give you any fee interest in the property.Occasionally, tax authorities will put a property with seriously delinquent tax payments up for sale and then you could buy the property for the cost of taxes. Contact your local city or county treasurer who handles the property taxes for your area.

A neighbor fell on a sidewalk in front of my home and now they want to take me to court. Can they sue me?

Sidewalks are usually owned by the city and not the property owner. If someone is on your property though and gets injured you can possibly be found liable for their injury. If you let a roofer get on your roof to inspect it and they fall off, they can possibly sue you for their injuries.AnswerThe information provided above does not apply in all jurisdictions. You should discuss that question with your insurance company. In some jurisdictions homeowners and cities share liability and homeowners do indeed have some liability depending on the details. In my jurisdiction the public sidewalk is on my property but the public has rights to pass under an easement of public way. If you were aware of a dangerous defect in the sidewalk (for example a dangerous uplifting due to tree roots causing a pedestrian to trip and fall) and did nothing to address it you may have liability. The injured party could sue you for damages.

How do I go about getting the city to do a tree removal on my lawn?

Most cities will not remove a tree unless it is on city property. If the tree is a danger or if it is dying the city will cut it down only if it is on property owned by the city. At times, if branches of a tree are overhanging into the street, the city will trim them up. Trees on private property are mainly the property owners responsibilty and the city will not pay to have the trees removed. Even if your neighbor has a dead tree in his yard that threats your property, the city is not responsible. Trees healthy or sick are the homeowner, or property owner's responsibilty. I am sure states may vary, but this is usually the norm.
