10ft tall all down the driveway, so the potential new neighbors can't sit there and creep on me on their porch while i'm watering my plants in the drive, and as a bonus it'll keep their tree's stupid leaves in their yard where they belong
you can't even say i'm becoming a suburbanite, the town i live in is rural 
lol yeah it does.
i looked mine up when i lived in a relatively small and dense but relatively permissive municipality once. basically, for anything above 4' tall fence, the setback was pretty much the front line of the house structure. a 4' could be run to the right of way/sidewalk.
once you hit the house setback, you could do up to 8' or apply for a variance for up to 10'. 8' is intense to stand near IRL.
the bin laden compound had 14' perimeter walls, which was too high for parabolic mics and camera observation of the grounds from nearby trees... so 14' is what i consider The Gold Standard for Being Weird™
