But, am I "allowed" to put up planters on my side of the fence since I would probably have to drill a hole/screw into the fence to hold the planters?
No you can't drill in to it, but you can get these :
2” Thick PVC Fence Rail Hanger

If that has to attach to the top of the fence where I had to see part of it on my side, I would ask you to remove it. If it were your fence I can't say anything, or if you chipped in for the fence, but since I paid for the fence I wouldn't want to see that on my side.
Just my preference maybe your neighbors won't mind.

Wow you're all so hard to please.
I would hope that common sense dictates that if you use a hanger, that you would align it with one of the posts so that the part of the hanger your neighbor would see would be nearly invisible and I'm pretty sure they can be painted and they even come in white.
