No, landowners are responsible for complying with city, county, and subdivision regulations regarding maintenance of their land, including that within a right-of-way. TVA has the perpetual right under most easement documents to clear rights-of-way and keep them clear of trees, brush, buildings, structures, and fire hazards. These rights were acquired only to allow for the construction, operation, maintenance, and rebuilding of transmission lines.
