Since you are in the Valley of the Sun, when you say "fence" you are probably referring to a block fence. Ask the HOA for permission to add another course of block, painting it to match the courses of block below. In my experience, it is quite common to raise the fence height, for any number of reasons. As long as the color matches, they should have no problem with that. Especially if you smarm them up a little bit. Assure them that you love the community, admire the way that they have kept the standards up, you certainly want to maintain and even improve property values, you understand the importance of the CC&Rs in doing so, and so forth. Whatever you do, don't fight them or argue with them.

Worked for me in my part of the Valley.
