Normally, you should not expect your parents to pay you for helping around the house. That is something you should be doing anyway. However, if they are already paying someone, like a lawn guy, then why don't you compete for his job? Offer to do it for less. Of course, you will have to do a good job and not complain about it.
Jobs you can do for neighbors: Mowing lawns, walking pets, washing cars, and babysitting (if you are a responsible kid).
You may find it difficult to get a job at 13 because most jobs require you have skills. It does not hurt to ask. Try jobs that do not require a college education, such as fast food, grocery stores, shops, etc.
One way to build your skills is through volunteering. You will not get paid but you will learn valuable skills that will help you get a job someday. Maybe your parents will agree to compensate you for volunteering. They can consider it a donation to a good cause.
A great site is http://www.volunteermatch.org/
If you are adventurous, you can try running your own internet business by buying things at garage sales and selling them online at http://www.ebay.com . Research what things are selling for on ebay before purchasing. (Also, avoid buying stuff on ebay or you will spend more than you make.) I suggest you specialize in a few items: specific toys, books, etc. You are going to become an expect so pick a category that you really enjoy. (When you see a bargain you will know it!) Be certain to check the website daily to make certain your customers are happy. To make a profit you will need to calculate the costs: ebay fees, paypal fees, packaging materials, and postage.
Good luck!

Be a referee! It does not really matter the sport! I was a soccer and basketball referee when I was 12! It was fun, and I got paid!
