Clickbait title aside, this sounds like some BS they're trying to pull. I would definitely fight the citations/tickets, but you have to do it in a calm, rational way. Claiming they're trying to enslave you isn't going to convince a judge to side with you, because (to be blunt) this isn't slavery.

You need to form a reasoned, clear argument, and that starts with answering this question: which code are they citing you for violating?

They are citing grass and property maintenance regulations... nothing when it comes to forcing neighbors to maintain the land of others. They just say "you're responsible now. Do the work or go to jail for a citation."

Would you happen to have the citation handy? It should have a reference to the city code that they claim is being violated. If you have the exact code, I'd be happy to look it up and offer advice on how to craft an argument in court.
