Almost, here's the rub

"Private Property" this is a grey area, yes they own the property, however building on it so it's technically not so private. This can and probably will be argued.

Tresspassing, the legal definition of a piece of land also includes air space above it. They would have to be outside that air space, which if the drone is traveling the streets (so to say) then it's 100% legal as that is considered public property. It is unlike a HOA, as the county is responsible for road maintenence here not TV
