He did not say anything about planting a certain distance from the fence line. I am now wondering if there are planting restrictions for the newly built homes which are back to back (those without fences). He indicated I can remove the small bushes put there by the builder and replace with taller plants for added privacy. Sounds like I need to have another discussion with my villages realtor to get clarification. Thanks everyone.

There are set backs on all sides of the property with limits on what you can do -
the number of feet of the set back depends on front vs back vs side. It is different for structure vs a bush vs hard scraping.
It also can vary house to house.
For example, you could have the power lines running in your yard, so you can’t plant anything within 7 feet of the back of your property. I would guess, there are set backs along most of the fences.
The realtor will say anything to sell you a house, as said earlier, they work for the builder.
