How much is the site owner asking to cover one cable for a years
tax? Just to put this discussion in perspective.

Maybe this is not new in other states but it appears to be gaining

The county real estate assessors are charging taxes on all cables and
antennas on commercial towers. This is whether there is any radio
equipment connected or not.
Currently I have a couple ham repeaters running on unused antennas on
these towers owned by my employer. Nice tall towers too!
Now my employer wants these antennas and feed lines removed so taxes
won't have to be paid on non-revenue generating antennas.
My current plans are to form a non-profit corporation and file for an
exemption for the antennas and feed lines.
I would like to hear how others have tackled another attempt by
government to tax the things we enjoy.
