No, this is not that they cannot keep up with maintaining their grass and
trees. I was told as a home owner I am responsible to maintain the area
between my property line and the edge of street pavement. That means I need
to mow the grass there and trim back trees there. It does not sound logical
but that's what the county told me.

The legal property description should reflect any "easement" that
allows the county on the property to fix or install utilities. Do
these trees have power lines along the easement? Florida Power and
Light may be able to clarify questions if there are power lines
involved. They contract to have trees trimmed away from power lines.

I grew up on a property that had a "high line" crossing our back lot.
We could not put a house on the lot, because of this "easement" for
FPL. We still had to mow that lot for many, many years.

It's your property and you are most likely are responsible for
maintenance, but they have a legal authority to enter your property.
