Dig it up yourself and replace it.

It may take a month of digging, but so what?

It would take a lot more than that with mine, its 10' down where
it joins the street main not a job for an amateur to do safely.

Just do a little a day.
And put up caution tape around the hole.

You'd need a hell of a lot more than just tape with mine.

You may need a permit from your city or county.

The lateral sewer line from my house to the street clogs about once a
year, in spite of my putting drain cleaner in regularly. The guy who
cleaned it out last time said the line is broken. The town says
it's my responsibility. It would be several thousand dollars to dig
up and repair the line. I've heard one company claim that it can
replace the line without any digging (I suppose by inserting another
line through the old one). What's the best way to deal with this
problem: Have the line cleaned once a year, get a new line, get a
better sewer cleaner, or something else?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
