hutchster said "One other thing to be mindful of is location of fence relative to the house, as fences in front need to be a certain height like 3 or 4' max vs side fences being 6 feet high "
The fence can be up to 6 feet tall to within 20 feet of your front property line. But this is only in typical scenarios where you live on an interior or pie-shaped lot. Those numbers vary if you are on a corner lot.
