- Hi Guys, This question is related to putting up a tower (30'/50' crank-up tilt-over). Do I ask for a Building Permit from the City (big hassle with Special Use permit and Zoning Variance)?? or just p

- Hi Alan, It depends on your community. In my town, no variance or special permit or anything is required for 55 feet and lower. They wanted me to get a permit, and have 2 inspections: 1) rebar in the

- Don't ever ask. Put it up. I once put up a 400' tower without a building permit. Two years later I was contacted and told there was no record of a building permit. I apologized and asked how much the

- IMHO if one needs a permit then one should obtain one. The first thing one needs to do is to ascertain if a permit is required. If it is, then one should jump through all the hoops that are required.
