In our town, the first 10 feet from the street belong to the town even though its part of my lawn.

Remember to allow for the public easement.
The whole purpose of laws is intent.
Walking on the front of someones lawn is intended for safety, not to violate a law.
Would be hard to make a case in court.

Generally the property line begins after a distance from the curb, probably less than 2 feet, though I believe it varies by area, that belongs to the city or town. The fact that there is grass on it doesn't make the area belong to the homeowner.

Generally, the city owns 6-10 feet in from the roadway for easments (and maybe a sidewalk down the road).
Be careful though... just because you CAN walk there... doesn't mean you can't get in any trouble at all. Don't kick lawn gnomes or anything in the yard and if your dog poops... pick it up.

A neighbors tree fell in my yard and hit my house, can I move the tree debris back onto their property to avoid the cost of removal? This is a Florida property.
