This is not even on my property! I thought I pay property taxes for things
like this!

I seriously doubt this is true but if somehow there are facts you left
out that make it true, I would suggest getting someone to just trim the
trees without a permit and be done with it. Unless you live in a county
occupied with a large percentage of anal-retentives, no one would ever
know or care what you did -- especially if it makes the tree look nicer.
I trim trees all the time in my parkway when technically I would need a
permit to do so. If I'm too lazy to get a permit I can just call the
city to come out and do it for free however you never know if you end up
with a tree butcher crew who doesn't know anything about trees and they
start hacking away indiscriminately. That's why I just do it myself.
