I have moved my Tristao (predecessor to US Towers) many times. The Calif
PE opinion on the tower sections may be accepted, but many areas was a
local PE to certify the base design and installation for the local soil
and wind conditions. In some areas the building department actually has
a qualified engineer on the staff. In those cases he/she will frequently
glance at the mfr plans and issue the permit. Where the staff is mostly
admin types, they keep the local PEs employed. The best case I ever had
was in NH. The guy in charge just said, "Build it sturdy, it gets windy
here." CO was a close second, the guy in charge said "that's the biggest
tower I've ever seen for a ham" and issued the permit.
Just be cooperative and friendly is my advice. If you're nice, they
usually are. If they want a local PE to certify your installation plan,
don't be surprized if it costs you $1,000 for the process. (As Kimo also
observed for Hawaii in an earlier post.)
There is no federal jusisdiction over local building and zoning
departments and they do not have to recognize any out of state stuff.
