Generally 199 ft unless you are close to an airport. There is a 110 ft
tower that requires registration but no painting or lighting because it
is close to the Temple, Texas airport.

Generally, 200 feet is the limit for unlighted towers. Any structure that
extends more than 200 feet above ground level will require an Aeronautical

If greater than 200 feet or within a boundary as specified by the FAA, the

It sits on 4 1/2 acres of land and includes a 189' tower, still with
Microwave horns on it. The tower is complete, less the transmission

Normally, one would generally not need to illuminate this tower
(unless it is a very fat microwave tower with dishes on it or near a
runway).
Don't know if this counts or not.

Thanks for the citation. That was then, but this is now. Read FCC Part 17,

It's worse than you think. Since you are now aware that the ground is 75
feet too high, you are legally required to bulldoze the mountaintop down even

examined for cosmic contamination and evidence of any

They have a practice tower at their location, it close to 200 feet if I

This is deeply weird. I've never heard of (at least around here) of any
