I like our neighbors and don't want to become a pain in toosh. We live in a "regular" neighborhood and not a villa one. Just looking for thoughts and if anyone has encountered this.
Florida law says your neighbor is not responsible for those over hanging limbs and also states you can have them pruned at your expense to the property line without his consent. It also says anyone he hires to prune needs your permission to come onto your property to prune, and don't be surprised if he asks you to pay for pruning what's over your property.
