Didn't. Just sayin, rural for rural, some counties want stupid fees and
a height limit, while others don't want anything at all and you can do
whatever you want.

One county we're in pulled that bullshit. We wanted to put up a 140'.
They said nope, you're not a cell co. And we said neither is SBA that
just built a tower 2 miles away without any permits whatsoever. Or how
about American Tower? Or the tower asset holding companies that the
cell co's own? None of them are cell co's, yet they're allowed, or
just put them up and don't give a shit. We thought about just building
it and telling them to piss off, but figured that was a bad idea
without an army of lawyers. Next county over, we can put up a 1k'
without any permits, engineering.. nothing.

If you go with your hat in your hand and explain politely what
you're doing then maybe they'll help you through the process.
They might not bend any rules for you, but they might refrain
from making it harder.
I can think of two towns which adopted the same set of
standardized rules on building towers. One town told aWISP,
"These rules aren't really intended for you, they're really for
cell phone towers, just apply for a building permit and we'll
ignore the rest of it." A different town stuck to the letter of
everything and hit the same WISP with $7000 in engineering fees,
and there were very strong reasons for the WISP to believe that no
actual engineering was performed. I won't name the two towns or
the WISP, but this is a true story.

So i inquired about installing a "ham" tower, which is limited
to 60ft in the county I reside, damn. They still want their
use permit & fee's, it's a several month process with a open
hearing and approval from the board of supervisors. Also an
environmental study??!?

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Conditional-use permit for tower
I just purchased a 7ac price of land for my primary
residence and the site is a great location for a tower
site, but the local government is asking for a 30 page
conditional use permit app with an environmental study
and a public comment period plus approval by the board
of supervisors...
After that I have to obtain a building permit obviously.
Any tips on filling out this application so I can
receive an approval?
Three of my competitors have a tower within 1 mile of
this site and none of them have gone through the
planning or conditional use permit nor have they
received a building permit as far as I know. So I
don't think they will be asking me to co locate.
Any advice or tips? I guess this process can take as
long as a year to be completed and I'm not sure what
the cost will be but I'm sure an environmental impact
study isn't cheap.
Thanks,
TJ
