My neighbors on one side are also snowbirds and they hired someone to "watch their house" while they're away. The person that they hired didn't take care of their weeds, so I texted them to let them know. They asked the person "watching" their house to abate the weeds, but the person never did, so I pulled the weeds in the island on their lawn and around their lamp post, then sprayed those two areas. I spray my flower beds for weeds every week, so I now spray the two aforementioned areas in their yard too. It only takes a couple of minutes extra per week. If it's not too much trouble for you, that might be better than reporting them . . . You'll be a good neighbor and keep the neighborhood looking nice.
