The County says to a reporter:
"The county says even though the adjacent property is not hers, she is legally responsible for making sure the grass is trimmed in front of that property."
The Thirteenth Amendment (against slavery) states:
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
The skinny on this is that individuals living next to land owned by hedge funds / REITs are legally required to maintain that land. Literally slavery. They do this because people do not know their rights and the county cannot serve process upon these absentee owners who let the property go to seed.
This is not a one-day thing. This county has required FOR FIFTEEN YEARS that this land be maintained / mowed / trimmed / cleaned by the homeowner next door or she GOES TO JAIL.

What is it called when someone is required by force to work for a third party's benefit without pay?

Wouldn't squatters rights then make it such that it's her property because she's been making improvements to it for the last 15 years?

One of those areas appears to be an easement of some sort. Now I'm not familiar with Georgia property law, but very often homeowners are considered responsible for adjacent easements.

It looks like an easement to me too, but according to the report, it's under private ownership.

It, and all the parcels of land in the center of the neighborhood, are owned by an investment company. The parcel is in fact owned by a company. It may be an easement, but the land itself is actually owned by an investor.

An investment company bought what was originally an easement along with all the other parcels of land inside the circle. So it's all owned by the same company.
