My hometown has city ordinance over fences. They have a max height and need to not block the view of the houses too much. It's in place to keep the welcoming feel of the town iirc. So yeah depending on the place the city could be getting involved directly

I'd fight that. Surely there's a fourth amendment argument there (e.g. I need it to be high enough that police looking over it would constitute an illegal search).

My city limits fence heights, but the limit is 1.8m. a cop would need to be pretty tall to see over

Anyway, if you want more height you could grow a hedge. Also if you don't like the setback rules, a hedge can regain all the lost front yard

We have a fair few hedges.

I happen to be 1.9m or so, so a 1.8m fence wouldn't do much to prevent me from looking over since that's right about my eye level. So I'd opt for the hedge.
