Ben - While the tree is the lot owners property, you can trim what is overhanging your property, up to the property line.(double check town ordinances, but this is typically a rule).
But be aware that if your tree trimming causes damage to the overall health of the tree (because of overtrimming, etc...), you could be held responsible.
