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.

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*

Answer:If you pay someone's property taxes you would be considered a volunteer.

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.
