Depend on the location. In my town, it will cost $17,000 minimum just for the first phase of a special exception process with County Zoning. Then what if you need to get up 300-400ft? 300-400ft towers are way more expensive to build, and to get permission to build. And in this county a lot large enough to qualify for a tower cant be had for anything less than about $500k. The county property tax alone for the site would easilly be $8000/year. Sure if you live in remote rural America, where a lot can be had for $4-5K, and 150ft tower will do, where there is no one that can see the tower except for the people that NEED your service, (so no one to protest), sure building your own may be the way to go. But if you live in that type area, you can use that arguement to negotiate a lower price for colocation.
