An interesting question and not an easy answer. You may own up to the middle of the street but the public has the right to use the street and the sidewalk for all purposes of a public way if it is a public way. In some places the town owns the streets. It depends on how the street was originally laid out.

There is no single answer.

You would need to check the title to your property to find the original street layout. Street layouts are not universal. Some jurisdictions take easements of way and some own the fee to the streets. Some use a mixture of both. Sometimes the easement rights reach beyond the curb to include the far side of the sidewalk. Sometimes the rights end at the curb. The only way to answer your question accurately would be to find the original taking that created the city's rights in your particular street.

An experienced title examiner would need to study all the road layouts, takings and accompanying plans to answer this question for any particular property.
