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™
I think a 7-8 foot fence would work well enough for this specific case, it's just our main entrance is on the side of the house with a driveway running along it, and their front door and porch are like 20ft away. I think at that distance i'd feel obscured enough doing stuff in my driveway
I could also just get over my desire to not be perceived
