To clarify, the back of the neighbor's house is eight feet from the fence and there is no back door, just some windows. In contrast, on our side the fence is all across our parking area at the end of the driveway, so it's much more visible all day every day.

Thank you for your input.

Yes, I've been reading that that is customary, but I don't think there's a law about it. Croney Jul 2019 #21
Check your local ordances and zoning laws. Kaleva Jul 2019 #23
