For the future, if the tree branch is over your property you are within your rights to trim it back yourself.

The issue here is that the trunk where the heaviest part wasn't hanging over just some of the branches of that limb. When it broke off it must have tumbled over or got hung up and fell over into my yard. So what I would have had access to to trim likely would not have changed this outcome.

I’m nosy and love mess, what was the 10k damage?
bcardarella OP t1_j1imma6 wrote
Ripped pool cover, took out corner of roof of a small pool house, destroyed a few appliances. The pool cover is more concerning as I think they're built to order so getting a replacement is tricky and the rip exposing the pool in Winter is a huge liability.

OP has a pool house and is smart enough to consult the top minds of reddit for legal advice.

That may be true...
But that doesn't mean that a tree company will be willing to actually do that trimming without permission.
My neighbor removed a bunch of trees from their property, and while they were at it, they wanted to remove some branches that overhung their property. The tree was technically on my property.
I didn't care, but the tree removal company needed my permission. They gave me a letter to sign.
I suspect this might be pretty common. Tree removal company doesn't want to be in the middle of a neighbor fight. So even if it's legal to do it, they don't want to be liable

Can you trim it all the way to the tree or only to your property line?
MeatSack_NothingMore t1_j1i67bg wrote
You can trim to the property line.

Not sure that’s true. Planes can occupy your air space.

No, it's one of the most famous cases in modern property law from the early days of commercial aviation. The sky above your property is not your property, at least in the US.
Edit: see Supreme Court case US v. Causby, 1946

Bravo! Mine too. I do give birds a free pass. It’s more theirs than mine, but their cool with it.

Depending on where the moon is in its rotation you own a piece of that too.
Think of your moon-property as like a timeshare: when it’s over your house, you own it
