Tie a line from the front of the property to the rear, putting in a
temporary stake about a foot or so outside the property stakes. Then
measure in a foot to make sure you are clearanced properly at any
given point on the property line.
This should eliminate having to tear down fence to make sure things
are done properly.
There is nothing better than knowing first hand where things *should*
be.

a visit to the local building department.will determine. Between the=20
time the original fence was built and the current time, setback codes=20
may have changed.

foot high fence. It is now 3'.
I have to get a permit to replace damaged portions of my fence, although =

I am grandfathered at 6"

Yes, I can see how doing a string between the front and back iron rods =

then go a few inches in just to be safe as you suggested. Thanks for t=
